    The focus of the present work is on the assessment of design value Rd of the load bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete beam by means of a non-linear finite element model and a safety format. The RC structure under investigation is a simply supported beam with a span length of approximately 5.7 m and with nine circular holes in the web, with a diameter of 0.3 m and a spacing of 0.63 m. The partial factor and the global resistance safety formats are compared and the results obtained with each procedure are discusse
