    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end. Typically it extends from a flat vertical surface such as a wall, to which it must be firmly attached. Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab.

  3. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookout_(architecture)

    A lookout, [1] lookout rafter or roof outlooker [2] is a wooden joist that extends in cantilever out from the exterior wall (or wall plate) of a building, supporting the roof sheathing and providing a nailing surface for the fascia boards.

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.

  6. Structural system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

    The structural system of a high-rise building is designed to cope with vertical gravity loads as well as lateral loads caused by wind or seismic activity. The structural system consists only of the members designed to carry the loads, and all other members are referred to as non-structural.

  7. Timber framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

    A simple timber frame made of straight vertical and horizontal pieces with a common rafter roof without purlins. The term box frame is not well defined and has been used for any kind of framing (with the usual exception of cruck framing). The distinction presented here is that the roof load is carried by the exterior walls.
