Very helpful video, thank you. For a specific case. Can you offer some help with video or illustration for making a Cantilever suspended Balcony? About 13 feet out from building structure.
Real Life Architect Thanks yes! Just finished my 2nd year at Brookes and I would like to know what tasks would a rookie do in the year out. Many thanks in advance.
@@miguelmoncloacastillo1160 that is a great topic! I did my year out 20 years ago in Sydney. I wasn’t enjoying architecture school and went travelling with some friends just to get some space. I eventually found work in a small practice and it saved me. I would not be an Architect today if I hadn’t worked for those guys.
Real Life Architect Sounds like a good experience. Fingers crossed and hopefully you'll get the time to make a video about this topic, thousands of architecture students like me will thank you. Cheers Neil.
It fulfils a function, just like any other Architectural feature. If a building needs shelter, shade or something to signify “entrance”, a cantilever does the job. They can also visibly unify an elevation, tying the overall composition together.
What would be the max. span (wall to wall) for a 2 by 12 soft wood ceiling joists (12 being vertical), that would not bend under snow or it's own weight? i'm looking for a direct approximate answer, i just don't get the online tables ?
Legally, I can’t answer that. I can do the maths (bending moment calculations) but, as a register architect, I can’t specify that for you, even in the UK. If you are in the US, my Insurance won’t cover me. Your best bet is contact a structural engineer
@@anonay7238 7 meter I'm sure they bend, I was suspicious of 5 - 6 meters, where 4 is safe. How do you know that 7 - 8 meters stay strait and what is the spacing of the joists that you are considering ? thanks.
So if I said 'how about a 6m cantilever on a 24m long reinforced concrete beam' would you say that sounds about right or would you run for the hills? 🤞🤞🤞
can you explain the math for sizing a steel beams for this project, distancing and other consideration working with steel frames? I am also concern about the heat lack through the frame, since I leave in a humid environment, I don't want to compromise the longevity of my tiny building :) Thanks a lot!

I took a screenshot of your videos. Thank you brother.

This is quite helpful. Many thanks and please post more👍
Thank you. This really enriches my architectural education.
Thank you Miguel, if you want me to discuss any other Architectural topics just let me know.

Finally someone uses the right term

Great video, what do you think justifies a cantilever?
It fulfils a function, just like any other Architectural feature. If a building needs shelter, shade or something to signify “entrance”, a cantilever does the job. They can also visibly unify an elevation, tying the overall composition together.
Thanks Neil. What techniques would you suggest to prevent the cold bridging? Thanks
Insulate everything.
Cantilevers are very tricky because the structure is partially inside and partially outside. The inside part must be insulated
What would be the max. span (wall to wall) for a 2 by 12 soft wood ceiling joists (12 being vertical), that would not bend under snow or it's own weight? i'm looking for a direct approximate answer, i just don't get the online tables ?

Around 7-8m

Please can you show me a cut roof section of a skillion roof that has a 1.8m long cantilever at two sides?
YOU ARE THE MAN!
👍
@1:46 what is the fascia for the cantilever there? We have one and are worried about what to use, especially at corners for expansion.
The black trim is grey aluminium, the white trim is UPVC
Sir, which software use to design timber trusses?
I don’t, that’s the engineers job
So if I said 'how about a 6m cantilever on a 24m long reinforced concrete beam' would you say that sounds about right or would you run for the hills? 🤞🤞🤞
Depends how thick the beam is and how it is secured back to the building
can you explain the math for sizing a steel beams for this project, distancing and other consideration working with steel frames? I am also concern about the heat lack through the frame, since I leave in a humid environment, I don't want to compromise the longevity of my tiny building :)
Thanks a lot!
You better take advise from a structural engineer
Can this be built off the wall and only three points of support?
Depends where those points of support are and what they are made from
@3:15 you mention another detailed video. I can't find it, mind linking to it?
