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.
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.
Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.
A dog-leg staircase A quarter-landing, on a dog-leg staircase, is made into an architectural feature, by the use of arches, vaulting and stained glass. A dog-leg is a configuration of stairs between two floors of a building, often a domestic building, in which a flight of stairs ascends to a quarter-landing before turning at a right angle and continuing upwards.

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.
Simply supported beam with a constant 10 kN per meter load over a 15m length.. Take the beam shown at right supported by a fixed pin at the left and a roller at the right. . There are no applied moments, the weight is a constant 10 kN, and - due to symmetry - each support applies a 75 kN vertical force to the
However, in cases of non-prismatic members, such as the case of the tapered beams or columns or notched stair stringers, the flexural rigidity will vary along the length of the beam as well. The flexural rigidity, moment, and transverse displacement are related by the following equation along the length of the rod, x {\displaystyle x} :
The flexural modulus defined using the 2-point (cantilever) and 3-point bend tests assumes a linear stress strain response. [3] Flexural modulus measurement.
