The objective of this paper is a study on factors influencing the derivation of statistical parameters of flexural resistance and shear resistance for reinforced concrete beams. A variety of RC beams under bending and shear forces are designed and analyzed, taking into consideration different cross-sectional sizes, compressive concrete strengths, reinforcement ratios, and statistical distributions. The latest version of the American Building Code ACI-318-19 and ASCE/SEI 7-16 are used. The coefficient of variation ( V ) and bias factor ( λ ) for the selected models of reinforced concrete beams in flexure and shear are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation technique.
