Answer / mukesh biswas
The point,where the bending moment value is zero,that is known as CONTRAFLEXTURE point.INn this point the bending moment change it's sign means -ve to +ve or +ve to -ve.

Answer / ajay partap singh
point of contraflexure is a point where bending moment changes sign in bending moment diagram. On the one side of this point there is sagging and on other side there is hogging or vice versa. This helps to find out where reinforcement should be changed. As on one side sagging means tension is on lower side so reinforcement is on lower side and on other side hogging means tension on upper side so reinforcemrnt is on above side. So significance is that bending moment is in opposite directon hence position of reinforcement can be precisiley determined.

Answer / somesh mathur
Point of Contraflexure is simply the point where the bending moment diagram changes sign and as a result the radius of curvature changes sign. It has nothing to do with shear force at the point. At the point of contraflexure bending moment is zero but vice versa may not be true.

Answer / mohammad aasif bhat
Point of contraflucture is a point where the value of bending
moment changes from positive to nagative and the value of shear
force is high.

Answer / shankar
whenever change in bending moment sign negative to positive or positive to negative that point is called contraflexure.this point shear force is zero.
