QUESTION: Where can the exact Inflection Point be found to use in determining the exact cutoff points of negative reinforcement ?

ANSWER:

Conspan shows the continuous beam Bending moment diagram for composite DC/DW Line load (UDL ).This is the only BM diagram where in the user can find the inflection point and in other BM diagram (Precast DC , LL …..) user is unable to see the inflection point.
