This research project focuses on a comparative study between three codes, the American code ACI 318-08, European standards EUROCODE 2 and the Algerian code CBA.93. In this comparative study, we analyze the different parameters affected the shear of steel bars reinforced concrete structures highlighting the concordance points between the three codes considered and the difference in their approach respectively. The comparative study investigates the following points such as concrete and steel properties, load combinations, and design approaches of the shear resistance of reinforced concrete. The results obtained permit to conclude with proposed suggestions as a contribution for an eventual revision of the Algerian code CBA.
