Project as a cantilever
Projecting horizontal beam fixed at one end only
Construct with girders and beams such that only one end is fixed; "Frank Lloyd Wright liked to cantilever his buildings"
A cantilever is a beam supported on only one end. The beam carries the load to the support where it is resisted by moment and shear stress. Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs.
The cantilever is a figure skating element. Similar to the spread eagle, the skater travels along a deep edge. With knees bent, the skater bends his or her back backwards, parallel to the ice.
(cantilevered) structure that projects or hovers in space seemingly without support from beneath
A projecting beam or other structure supported only at one end. Any part of a structure that projects beyond its main support and is balanced on it.
An overhang. Where one floor extends beyond and over a foundation wall. For example at a fireplace location or bay window cantilever. Normally, not extending over 2 feet.
A dental prosthesis, usually a fixed bridge, where the fake tooth (pontic) is supported by abutments or retainers on just one side.
