This paper presents results of testing and numerical analyses of damaged steel beams strengthened with carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheet and subjected to overloading. The test results showed that as cyclic times increase, the yield load and stiffness increase, but the ultimate bearing capacity decreases to a certain extent. Applying prestress could improve the ductility of the girder. The damage level greatly influenced the girders with overloading, and the increase in damage degree reduced the stiffness, yield load and ultimate load. The numerical calculation showed that the yield load would decrease by 0.4–0.8 kN when the cyclic times increase by 100 times. The yield load would increase by 1–2 kN and the ultimate bearing capacity would decrease by 0.6–1.2 kN when the overloading amplitude increased by 0.02 Pu. The increase in damage degree would obviously reduce the yield load and ultimate bearing capacity of the steel beam after overloading. The yield load and ultimate bearing capacity could be increased by approximately 3 kN when the CFRP sheet thickness increases by 0.05 mm.
