The noun cantilever has a normal plural, cantilevers.
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.
Cantilevers
Advantages of cantilevers -Building out from each end enables construction to be done with little disruption to navigation below. The span can be greater than that of a simple beam, because a beam can be added to the cantilever arms. Cantilever bridges are very common over roads. Because the beam is resting simply on the arms, thermal expansion and ground movement are fairly simple to sustain. Cantilever arms are very rigid, because of their depth.Disadvantages of cantilevers - Like beams, they maintain their shape by the opposition of large tensile and compressive forces, as well as shear, and are therefore relatively massive. Truss construction is used in the larger examples to reduce the weight.

In this work, a Pneumatic Nozzle Flapper is built and simulated. This device is used to stimulate a mechanical force that is applied at the same time to an array of cantilevers that needs to be pushed mechanically. A thermal microactuator functions as a flapper for the pneumatic system allowing same amount of force to be applied at the same time to all cantilevers. Simulation shows that the idea is feasible and can work at the micro scale. Finite Element Analysis is provided for the pneumatic structure and the electrothermal microactuator.
There are many cantilevers in the world, but among the biggest ones are St James' Work in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne which is the home stadium of the Newcastle United F.C. The old, but now demolished, Miami stadium was also among them.
None. A cantilever is a beam that is suspended at only one end. Canntilevers are used in the construction of partly supported structures such as bridges and balconies. They are not, in any way, related to a metre which is a measure of distance and is equal, in length, to 100 centimetres.

A cantilever is a beam supported on only one end. The beam carries the load to the support. Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs.
Cantilevers are long projecting beams or girders fixed at only one end, used mainly in bridge construction. They are used a lot for a range of things for example: canopies, balconies, sidewalks outside the trusses of bridges etc...
