I want to place the column-spanned figure at the bottom of the page near to the text but using \begin{figure*}[b] goes the figure to the end of the document!! Why?

\begin{figure*}[b]
    \centering
    \includegraphics{fig.eps}
    \caption{Something}
    \label{f1}
\end{figure*}

This will depend on the actual text or your document. I think a MWE would help. – Vlad030691 Mar 12 '14 at 20:27
I believe figure* means float and then you are trying to force placement with [b]. Try using just {figure}[b]. – dustin Mar 12 '14 at 20:28

@dustin A figure* will span both columns in a twocolumn document, so I assume that is what mahmood has. Using figure wont help then, as that only uses one column. – Torbjørn T. Mar 12 '14 at 20:31

@mahmood figure* can only be placed at the top, by default. There is an FAQ about this: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat – Torbjørn T. Mar 12 '14 at 20:32

there's a totally ugly hack for putting a full-width figure at the bottom of a two-column page, explained in this answer to the question How to put a full-width table at the top or bottom of the same two-column page as the reference text?. – barbara beeton Mar 12 '14 at 20:36
