Wikipedia
Cantilever
A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is supported at only 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.
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.
Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support.
Examples of use of cantilever
1. The living spaces face north–south ("the sun‘s easier to control"); the cantilever provides horizontal southern shading; and a solid wall with tiny openings makes a vertical barrier to the west.
2. The cantilever design was hailed a wonder of the world – today it is on the waiting list for UNESCO World Heritage status and is celebrated on one of our pound coins – but it came at a terrible cost.
3. The delivery of a double cantilever rail mounted gantry crane is the first of 81 cranes which are being constructed at Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Company‘s facility in Korea, said a press release.
4. And of course, those 40DD bosoms she calls "my show dogs". All the steel in the north of England would have struggled to match the cantilever structure that must have been holding them aloft against the wind and driving rain of Rotherham yesterday.
