cfrp and steel yield

[RJcivileng]

hi all,
when we use the cfrp Sheets for shear strengthening for concrete beams.....the beam will handle more load......but would that delay the longitudinal steel yielding or not.....i tried to analysis a concrete beam with and without cfrp.....but the longitudinal steel yielded at the same load.....is that is ok?
thanks

Are you guys ganging up on us? When one asks the question and doesn’t like the answer he gets, another one gives it a shot? Take a look at (search for) thread # 507-344245.
