Question

The point of contraflexure is the point at which ___________ changes its sign.

A.

Torsional moment

B.

Shear force

C.

All of the options

D.

Bending moment

Correct option is D



The point of contraflexure is defined as the point on a beam where the bending moment changes its sign, transitioning from positive to negative or vice versa. At this point, the bending moment is zero, and the beam experiences neither sagging nor hogging.
This concept is critical in structural analysis and design, especially for determining the locations where reinforcement is required in beams.
