2. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

   The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

3. Rim joist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_joist

   In flooring construction, the rim joists sit on the sill plates; in deck construction, they are parallel to the support beams and sit on the beams or in some cases, cantilever away from the beams. A double thickness board in the position of a rim joist is called a flush beam and serves a dual purpose, providing primary support for the joist ...

4. Cantilever - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

   Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab. When subjected to a structural load at its far, unsupported end, the cantilever carries the load to the support where it applies a shear stress and a bending moment. [1] Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support.

5. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

   The original concrete deck of the 670 m (2,200 ft) North Viaduct of the Lions Gate Bridge was replaced with a lighter and wider orthotropic deck, carried out in sections using a series of short closures of the bridge. [3] Cantilever orthotropic decks allowed the Tamar Bridge to remain open whilst the main deck was replaced in 1999. An ambitious ...

6. Box girder bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_girder_bridge

   If a composite concrete bridge deck is used, it is often cast in-place using temporary falsework supported by the steel girder. Either form of bridge may also be installed using the technique of incremental launching .

7. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

   The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method. The steel plate is treated as an equally stiff piece of wood, with its width modified by the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. This allows the deflection of the entire beam to be calculated as if it were ...
