Contraflexure
text:
In solid mechanics, a point along a beam under a lateral load is known as a point of contraflexure if the bending moment about the point equals zero. In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment curve intersects with the zero line. Knowing the place of the contraflexure is especially useful when designing reinforced concrete or structural steel beams and also for designing bridges. Flexural reinforcement may be reduced at this point. However, to omit reinforcement at
