This study deals with the evaluation of the reliability index of prestressed girders members of road bridges in relation to the ultimate limit state (ULS) of bending failure. In a wide bibliographic review of scientific works that deal with structural reliability, prestressed structural elements and road bridges, it is observed that few of these deals specifically with the reliability of girders considering the codes NBR 7188 of 2013 and NBR 7187 of 2021. A mechanical model was developed for the calculation of the beam resistant moment and the Monte Carlo Method was used to obtain a data set that represents the statistics of the structure in the ULS. To obtain the reliability index B, the first order reliability method (FORM) was used. The values obtained by the analytical method are validated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. For all evaluated cases, the value of the reliability index was higher than 4.0, which is higher than the minimum required value of 3.5, showing that the national normative recommendations for the design of beam members guarantee a very conservative level of safety.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
