The aim of this study was to assess the safety margin assured by stirrups of reinforced concrete elements subjected to shear. The safety margin was assessed by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The impact of the strength of steel and spacing of stirrups on the results was analysed as well. The used models of shear resistance were taken from the Polish standards PN-84/B-03264 and PN-EN 1992-1-1:2008. The safety margin, expressed as the logarithm of the probability of not achieving the design value of the design ultimate shear capacity was analysed as well as the impact of different assumptions on the obtained results. An attempt was made to assess the “sensitivity” of models to changes of the basic parameters of the probability distribution function of their selected variables.
