2.0 Design Assumptions

1.

The strain distribution for Concrete in compression and the strain distribution for Steel in
tension or compression have been derived through the assumption that plane sections

2.

remain plane before and after flexure.

Stress, when concrete in compression is derived using design stress strain relationship in
