What is point of contraflexure ?

Answer Posted / sjtbehera

Point of the Contraflexture is the point where Bending
moment value is 0. or other way where Bending moments
begins to change.

Flexural reinforcement may be reduced at this point.
However, to omit reinforcement at the point of
contraflexure entirely is inadvisable as the actual
location is unlikely to realistically be defined with
confidence. Additionally, an adequate quantity of
reinforcement should extend beyond the point of
contraflexure to develop bond strength and to facilitate
shear force transfer.
