of steel, 28-day compressive strength of concrete, width and effective depth of the cross-sections, respectively. The nominal values of the steel are calculated according to ACI 318M-14.2015 standard[16]. For L and T shaped sections, the proposed equations are obtained [12]. To express the shear and torsion limit state functions, all sections of L, T, and rectangular shapes of concrete beams are considered. The factors considered in the ACI standard are: concrete strength reduction factor ( 0.90 c   ), dead load increase factor   1.20 D   and live load resistance factor( 1.60) L   . In addition, the steel strength reduction factor of steel is 0.90 s   .

Limit function and safety index equation Eqn. 4 shows the limit state function which is used to the safety design of concrete beams under the simultaneous effects of bending, shear, and torsion.

After employing Eqn. (4), in order to predict the safety index ( )  , the values of R (resistance surface) and S (load surface) are calculated for the three mentioned states (bending, shear and torsion) using Hasofer-Lind equation [17-18]. Eqn. 5 shows the value of the safety index [18]. In this study, the safety index is calculated for current limit states functions using Monte- Carlo simulation
