  2. Wing wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_wall

    Their design depends upon the nature of the embankment and does not depend upon the type or parts of the bridge. [ 1 ] The soil and fill supporting the roadway and approach embankment are retained by the wing walls, which can be at a right angle to the abutment or splayed at different angles.

  3. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    An early example of a MEMS cantilever is the Resonistor, [7] [8] an electromechanical monolithic resonator. MEMS cantilevers are commonly fabricated from silicon (Si), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4), or polymers. The fabrication process typically involves undercutting the cantilever structure to release it, often with an anisotropic wet or dry ...

  4. Stahl House - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stahl_House

    Stahl purchased the lot on a hill for $13,000 in 1954 and began meeting with architects to design a home for a parcel deemed "unbuildable" by other architects. [4] Koenig's design was built in 1959 as part of the Case Study Houses program. The house is considered an iconic representation of modern architecture in Los Angeles during the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_Beekman_Place

    Along the west side of the house, the penthouse cantilevers about 5 feet (1.5 m) over Beekman Place. [12] The bottom of the cantilever has a grate on the left (north) and an empty opening on the right (south). The north and south walls of the cantilever have several concrete panels each while the west wall has one large concrete panel. [7]

  6. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    The Spitfire wing may be classified as: "a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with unswept elliptical wings of moderate aspect ratio and slight dihedral".. The wing configuration or planform of a fixed-wing aircraft (including both gliders and powered aeroplanes) is its arrangement of lifting and related surfaces.

  8. List of longest cantilever bridge spans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_cantilever...

    This list of cantilever bridges ranks the world's cantilever bridges by the length of their main span. A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers: structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end.

  9. Cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_spar_cable...

    This design has been pioneered by the structural engineer Santiago Calatrava in 1992 with the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain. In two of his designs the force distribution does not depend solely upon the cantilever action of the spar (pylon); the angle of the spar away from the bridge and the weight distribution in the spar serve to ...
