  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

    A cantilever is a beam, which is anchored at only one end. Thus cantilevered stairs have a "floating" appearance, and they may be composed of different materials, such as wood, glass, stone, or stainless steel. [1]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Colloidal probe technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloidal_probe_technique

    The separation distance can be obtained from the displacement of the scanner and the cantilever deflection h = ξ + D − D 0. Figure below illustrates how the cantilever responds to different force profiles. In the case of a soft repulsive force, the cantilever is repelled from the surface and only slowly approaches the constant compliance region.

    A cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge is a modern variation of the cable-stayed bridge.This design has been pioneered by the structural engineer Santiago Calatrava in 1992 with the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain.

  9. 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.
