  2. A long bracket or beam projecting from a wall to support a balcony, cornice, or similar structure


  1. project as a cantilever
  2. projecting horizontal beam fixed at one end only
  3. construct with girders and beams such that only one end is fixed; "Frank Lloyd Wright liked to cantilever his buildings"
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. (cantilevered) structure that projects or hovers in space seemingly without support from beneath
  7. (Cantilevers) are large steel constructions on the ship’s sides supporting beams where large openings are provided such as in container vessels.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. A dental prosthesis, usually a fixed bridge, where the fake tooth (pontic) is supported by abutments or retainers on just one side.
  11. A beam or column supported only at one end. A sidewall column of a roof only structure is a cantilevered pole. The portion of a roof purlin extending beyond the gable endwall of a building to support an endwall overhang is cantilevered.
  12. A beam projecting beyond its supports. For instance, the area where a countertop overhangs a cabinet by a few inches.
  13. The part of a truss or structural member that extends beyond its support.
  14. the allowable overhang past the joists.
  15. In bridge terms this is a deck or part of the span of a bridge extending out from a fixed support.
  16. A structure, which may have flashing light signals, extending over one or more lanes of vehicular traffic.
  17. A beam or truss rigidly supported at one end, or in the middle, but not at both ends, which has forces applied along the free arm or at the free end. ...
  18. a development of the beam bridge. You have two anchor spans, supported by piers. Then two arms, the cantilever spans, extend out from the anchor spans. Some of these bridges have a center span hung between the two cantilever spans.
  19. A key component in an atomic force microscope. This flexible lever’s physical dimensions, as well as the material from which it is made, should be selected based on intended usage.
  20. A beam projecting out past a wall or post supporting it and being substantial enough to support a load above it without sagging and without being supported to the end. Roof trusses can also be designed to support an overhang without support to its end.
  21. A trademarked (and distinctive) design feature of AVIA athletic shoes, featuring a concave heel. This design is intended to stabilize the heel and lessen landing forces.
  22. A long bracket or beam projecting from a wall to support a balcony or stairs, fixed at only one end.
  23. Horizontal shapes extending outward over space.
  24. A beam, girder or truss overhanging one or more supports.
  25. A bracket that mounts to office panel systems in order to support the worksurface therefore eliminating the need for support legs.
