  1. Plane sections normal to the axis remain plane after bending.
  2. The maximum strain in concrete at the outermost compression fibre is 0.0035 in bending.
  3. Tensile strength of concrete is ignored.
  4. Maximum strain in the tension reinforcement in the section at failure shall not be less.
  5. There is a perfect bond between steel and concrete.
  6. The stresses in the reinforcement are derived from stress strain curve for the type of steel used.
