CANTILEVERED STRUCTURES

The objective of the course is to inquire and explore the cantilever structures by introducing, studying, examining and analyzing with the knowledge of different materials and properties. Through examples, study materials and exercises, students will response, engage and develop the understanding of cantilever structural form with stability, serviceability & strength. To achieve a proper balance between design and function, it is important that architects and structure engineers collaborate. Cantilevers also work at the mass level where they symbolize an expression of freedom and boldness. Ever since the invention of steel and concrete, engineers and architects have designed masterpieces with cantilevers.
