Study on the safety level of FRP reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement, designed with different Guidelines

A reliability-based analysis is conducted to calculate the safety level on shear strength of seven FRP reinforced concrete bridges. In order to calutate the probability of failure a Monte Carlo simulation is performed in which a limit state function it is solved. A formulation for the prediction of the shear strength is set within the simulation including the basic variables which affects the shear strength
