BENEFITS OF CANTILEVER BEAM AND CANTILEVER TRUSS
A cantilever belongs to an inflexible structural element like beam attached to one end to normally vertical support from which it obtrudes. It is also built with trusses or slabs or metal girders. While undergoing a structural load, the cantilever transfers the load to the support.
Cantilever Beam Cantilever beams are the members which are supported at one end and transmit a load at the other end or allocate along the unsupported segment. To check whether the structure is static or not, the support should be secured i.e. that it has the ability to support forces and moments in all directions. The upper half of the thickness of the cantilever beam is susceptible to tensile stress, liable to elongate the fibers, the lower half to compressive stress, liable to compress them. Beams can be cantilevered apart their supports with a distance equivalent to one-fourth the span among supports.
