  2. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The position of the centroidal axis (the center of gravity line for the frame) is determined by using the areas of the end columns and interior columns. The cantilever method is considered one of the two primary approximate methods (the other being the portal method) for indeterminate structural analysis of frames for lateral loads. Its use is ...

  3. 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.

  4. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and slender columns.

  5. Waffle slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab

    The height of the ribs and beams should be 1 ⁄ 25 of the span between columns. [3] The width of the solid area around the column should be 1 ⁄ 8 of the span between columns. Its height should be the same as the ribs. [3] Diagram showing waffle slab rib and Beam Heights rule of thumb formulas.

  6. Segmental bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmental_bridge

    The first cantilevered segmental cast-in-place concrete bridge, built in 1930, was Ponte Emílio Baumgart across Rio do Peixe in the state of Santa Catarina of Brazil. [2] It was followed in 1951 by the prestressed concrete bridge across the Lahn River in Balduinstein, Germany [ de ] , the first of many cantilevered bridges designed by Ulrich ...

  7. Suspension bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_bridge

    From the tower foundation, towers of single or multiple columns are erected using high-strength reinforced concrete, stonework, or steel. Concrete is used most frequently in modern suspension bridge construction due to the high cost of steel. Large devices called saddles, which will carry the main suspension cables, are positioned atop the ...

  8. Jettying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jettying

    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. Staggered truss system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_truss_system

    Floor spans may be short bay lengths, while providing two column bay spacing for room arrangements. [1] This results in low floor-to-floor heights. Typically, an 8'-8" floor-to-floor height is achieved. [4] Columns have minimum bending moments due to gravity and wind loads, because of the cantilever action of the double-planar system of framing ...
