A cantilever bridge could be said to be a variation on the basic beam bridge. The roadway of the bridge is held in place by cantilevers, which are long structures, or arms, projecting out into the water, but which are anchored on only one end. A diving board is a good example of a cantilever: although anchored on only one end, it can support a lot of weight.
In a cantilever bridge, there are the outer beams, the cantilevers, and the central beam. The outer beams are attached firmly to shore, while the cantilevers are then attached to these outer beams. The cantilevers projecting out from the outer beams, or supporting piers on the opposite shores, are then joined by a central beam.
The Forth Railway Bridge in Scotland and the Quebec Bridge in Canada are both famous examples of cantilever bridges.

∙ 13y agoNo. A cantilever bridge is not a beam bridge. A beam bridge and a cantilever bridge are two separate types of bridges.

ANS 2 - It's called 'cantilever' because of the way it was built. Nothing to do with 'how it works' - It spans a gap just like any other bridge.

What are the uses of cantilever beams in real life?
A cantilever beam is often used for making balconies in residential architecture. A cantilever beam is a beam that is supported only one of its ends while the open end can support a certain weight.
What is the support reaction at prop for a propped cantilever beam subjected to uniformly distributed load?
conclusion reaction and moment for propped cantilever beam
What are the types of beams in an aircraft?
cantilever beam,contineous beam,fixed beam,simply supported beam
What is the max length of RC cantilever beams?
1.50 meter from the support is the max. safe length cantilever beam
What is the difference between a cantilever bridge and a beam bridge?
A Cantilever bridge is built from iron, structural steel and prestressed and reinforced concrete. These materials make the trusses, box girders, vertical columns and the canitlever itself.
What is the point of a cantilever beam?
a cantilever beam is designed to evenly distribute weight
What is the max length of cantilever beam?
1.50 meter from the support is the max. safe length cantilever beam
What is the definition of a propped cantilever beam?
A beam with a built in support at one side (ie no rotation about or translation in the x, y, z direction) and a point support at the other (ie no translation in the x, y, z direction but rotation about the z direction)

Will a cantilever slab have beam at its free end?
no
What is a deflection in cantilever beam?
it will depend upon the load and moment applied on the beam.
What is the max length of RC cantilever beams?
1.50 meter from the support is the max. safe length cantilever beam

How is a cantilever different from a fully supported beam?
A supported beam has both ends of the beam resting on a support. A cantilever has a single support often hinged close to or at one end with the other end supported in another manner.
