Description
Description

Perpendicular cantilever floor framing uses extended joists, projecting from the main structure, to support the floor. This design leverages the principle of leverages, where the overhanging part is balanced by a counterweight within the building. It requires double joist framing at sides, adding rigidity and strength. For adequate load-bearing capacity and stability, the cantilever should extend into the building twice as far as it projects outside. This ensures a safer, balanced, and more robust structure. Such framing allows overhanging spaces without additional pillars, enhancing architectural flexibility and spatial utilization.
