Best Answer

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


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.


How far can a beam cantilever past a post on one end?

depends on the size and material of the beam and post!

When a cantilever is loaded with udl the maximum bending moment occurs at?

When a cantilever beam is loaded with a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL), the maximum bending moment occurs at the fixed support or the point of fixation. In other words, the point where the cantilever is attached to the wall or the ground experiences the highest bending moment. A cantilever beam is a structural element that is fixed at one end and free at the other end. When a UDL is applied to the free end of the cantilever, the load is distributed uniformly along the length of the beam. As a result, the bending moment gradually increases from zero at the free end to its maximum value at the fixed support. The bending moment at any section along the cantilever can be calculated using the following formula for a UDL: Bending Moment (M) = (UDL × distance from support) × (length of the cantilever - distance from support) At the fixed support, the distance from the support is zero, which means that the bending moment at that point is: Maximum Bending Moment (Mmax) = UDL × length of the cantilever Therefore, the maximum bending moment in a cantilever beam loaded with a UDL occurs at the fixed support. This information is essential for designing and analyzing cantilever structures to ensure they can withstand the applied loads without failure.

What is propped simply supported beam?

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.

Difference between determinate and indeterminate structures?

determinate structures are analysed by using equation of equilibrium or statics ie.., EV=0,EH=O,EM=0. EXAMPLE: simply supported beam ,cantilever beam,single or double over hanging beam. indeterminate beams are not capable of being analysed by using equation of statics. along with equation of statics we need some conditions for finding the unknowns. Example : fixed beam, propped cantilever beam, and continuous beam


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.
