Where do we use cantilever footing?

Cantilever footings are used when the column is constructed near the boundary of the plot, and it cannot be extended further. When the distance between two consecutive columns are very large, and it is not possible to provide combined footing. In that case, Cantilever footing is used.

What are cantilever foundations?

A cantilever is a beam supported only at one end, with load carried over the overhanging. Cantilevers provide a clear space underneath the beam without any supporting columns or bracing. Cantilevers became a popular structural form with the introduction of steel and reinforced concrete.

What is sloped footing?

Sloped footings are trapezoidal footings. They are designed and constructed with great care to see that the top slope of 45 degree is maintained from all sides. When compared the trapezoidal footing with the flat footing, the usage of concrete is less.

What is cantilever column?

The cantilever column was developed to be a “stop-gap measure”, intended for it to be used only in soft-story buildings that have irregular, narrow, and hard to retrofit areas. But they have now become the primary retrofit solution for hundreds of buildings in the last 12 months.

What are the types of footings?

The different types of footings used in construction are described below:

• Continuous Wall Footing. The footing which supports a long masonry or RCC wall is known as a continuous footing.
• Isolated Footing.
• Combined Footing.
• Strip Footing.
• Strap Footing.
• Raft Footing.
• Pile Footing.

What are different types of footings?

Types of footings:

• Wall footing/strip footing.
• Spread Footings.
• Isolated footings.
• Stepped footings.
• Combined footings.
• Sloped footings.
• Mat or raft foundation.
• Strapped footings.

What is cantilever in construction?

cantilever, beam supported at one end and carrying a load at the other end or distributed along the unsupported portion. Cantilevers are employed extensively in building construction and in machines. In building, any beam built into a wall and with the free end projecting forms a cantilever.
