  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay. In the southern United States, a historic barn type is the cantilever barn of log construction. Temporary cantilevers are often used in construction. The partially constructed structure creates a cantilever, but the completed structure does not act as a cantilever.

  3. Cantilever bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_bridge

    A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.

  4. Cantilevered stairs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilevered_stairs

    Cantilevered stairs, or floating stairs, are a type of staircase. A metal safety rail has been added to the outside of this cantilevered stone staircase. A cantilever is a beam , which is anchored at only one end.

  5. Retaining wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

    Cantilevered retaining walls are made from an internal stem of steel-reinforced, cast-in-place concrete or mortared masonry (often in the shape of an inverted T). These walls cantilever loads (like a beam ) to a large, structural footing, converting horizontal pressures from behind the wall to vertical pressures on the ground below.

    A double jettied timber-framed building. The ends of the multiple cantilevered joists supporting the upper floors can easily be seen.. Jettying (jetty, jutty, from Old French getee, jette) [1] is a building technique used in medieval timber-frame buildings in which an upper floor projects beyond the dimensions of the floor below.

  9. Continuous truss bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_truss_bridge

    However, continuous truss bridges do not experience the tipping forces that a cantilever bridge must resist because the main span of a continuous truss bridge is supported at both ends. The result of collapse of a continuous truss bridge (the Francis Scott Key Bridge). It is possible to convert a series of simple truss spans into a continuous ...
