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.
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.
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.
In a cantilever truss the situation is reversed, at least over a portion of the span. The typical cantilever truss bridge is a "balanced cantilever", which enables the construction to proceed outward from a central vertical spar in each direction.
The sequence of construction is similar to traditional concrete bridge building, i.e., build the support towers (columns), build the temporary falsework, build the deck, perform finish work. The principal differences are as follows:
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.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods had 199 yards to the hole. His Jupiter Links teammates realized too late that something was dreadfully wrong Tuesday night in a TGL indoor match.
It carries a daily traffic of approximately 100,000 vehicles [12] and possibly more than 150,000 pedestrians, [10] easily making it the busiest cantilever bridge in the world. [13] The third-longest cantilever bridge at the time of its construction, [14] the Howrah Bridge is currently the sixth-longest bridge of its type in the world. [15]
