    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

    Eaves overhang, shown here with a bracket system of modillions. The eaves are the edges of the roof which overhang the face of a wall and, normally, project beyond the side of a building. The eaves form an overhang to throw water clear of the walls and may be highly decorated as part of an architectural style, such as the Chinese dougong ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

    Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

    The roof built over the stands at Old Trafford uses a cantilever so that no supports will block views of the field. The old (now demolished) Miami Stadium had a similar roof over the spectator area.

[11] This not only allows for better insulation but decreases the weight of slab which has a positive effect on load bearing walls and foundations. Formwork set for concrete pour.

    This roof system is one of the most commonly used systems in commercial buildings, including those with masonry walls, precast concrete walls, and almost all forms of wall construction. The Tilt-Up concrete panels performed very well and survived the extreme loads of the EF-5 event only to collapse after the roof failed due to lack of bracing ...

    In situ: Formwork construction and pouring of concrete occur on site, then the slab is assembled (if required). [4] Precast: The slabs are made somewhere else and then brought to the site and assembled. [4] Pre-fabricated: The reinforcements are integrated into the slab while being manufactured, without needing to reinforce the assembly on site ...
