 Approximate Bend and Cutoff Points:

 Because the determination of cutoff or bent points may

be rather tedious, many designers specify that bars be

cut off or bent at more less arbitrarily defined points that

experience has proved to be safe.

 For nearly equal spans, uniformly loaded, in which not

more than about one-half the tensile steel is to be cut off

or bent, the locations shown in figure (a & b) are

satisfactory.
