QUESTION: Where can the exact inflection point be found to use in determining exact cutoff points of negative reinforcing?

ANSWER:

Conspan shows the continuous beam Bending moment diagram for composite DC/DW Line load (UDL ).

This is the only diagram (Composite Moment) wherein the user can find the inflection point and in other BM diagrams (Precast DC , LL …..) user will not be able to see the inflection point.
