Abstract
A cantilever beam is a beam supported only at one end. Beam bear special weight on the open end as a result of closed-end support, in addition to structural integrity. Cantilever construction sites in a variety of architectural design and other types of engineering, in which professionals use the term as the final load, intermediate load, and the last minute to identify how much of a cantilever beam will hold. As soon as the term associated with torque and the load beam theory. The relationship between static deflection of the beam and load described by the EulerBernoulli beam equation. Another equation, the Euler-Lagrange equations of the beam, the connection to dynamic loads, but because of the complexity of the application, the static approximation is usually used. Deflection, bending moment and shear force is applied load beam can be obtained. In a practical environment, the load chart is used to summarize this information, and their list of common materials that meet the safety requirements for the load to be known. For more complex applications, beam calculators available on the company website and as add-ons for computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Introduction
In residential architecture, the cantilever design is often used to create a balcony and other extended above ground level. Famous architects like Frank Lloyd Wright was known to take advantage of a cantilever beam construction to provide for building parts protruding from the supported portion. The use of a cantilever beam setup and similar cantilevered engineering is often seen in bridges and similar projects. Carpenter may think of a cantilever design in terms of timber beams, but in many other projects of the cantilever design is used for concrete slabs or metal girders. Specific use of cantilever construction is often part of a temporary construction projects. Although bridges or other projects in the transition, the cantilever design provides structural integrity while only one side of the beam is supported. Then, the beam may be supported on both sides. Engineers can show how the design diagram of the cantilever will help ensure stability in the mid-way through construction projects as part of safety studies. Architects and engineers are also using a cantilever structures for overhangs that has always been a part of the building range. Airports, university campuses, office complexes and other areas will usually include the external structure using a cantilever construction for the intentions of the different design of the building. These elements can provide protection from the suspense elements or ornamental aspects of the building. In some cases, the cantilever design "open style" according to modern design or art to a room, where practical planning mixed with aesthetic appeal. Those interested to see how the design of the cantilever used in modern engineering can easily find many examples of this engineering method can be seen at work in their local communities. A detailed study of this type of design can better prepare students for admission into engineering or architecture program. It also enhances students' understanding of how the professionals perform this type of design projects for both residential and commercial projects.

Conclusion
Beam is used all around us in many mechanical and structural engineering applications. They are often used to create the foundation or support for a larger structure, such as buildings or bridges. Beam analysis is a technique used enough to withstand the design beam power and the pressure at the same time minimizing the weight of the beam, space requirements, and cost of materials. Incorrectly designed beam can fail prematurely and have catastrophic effects. Beam analysis requires a combination of mechanical engineering, design principles and material properties. This process usually involves factors including the nature of the powers will be used, the length between supports, the beam shape, materials, and design of the joints to allow the beam to the mechanical connection to the other members of the structure. Various types of beam design based on load and mounting configurations. For example, a cantilevered beam supported at one end only and requires a different design of a simple beam supported at both ends. The beam can be constructed using a single material, such as carbon steel. They can also be constructed as a composite or laminated structure consisting of layers of different materials vary. Construction will affect the bending beam and deflection while under load. Depending on the length of the beam deflection, how it is supported, cross-sectional shape, material, and where the force deflecting used. Beam analysis will determine the amount of bending and deflection. An important consideration in the analysis beam safety margin or safety factor. Most of the beam has a safety factor used for very large beam if the load or other factors which can not be predicted in the design of the beam. An excessive safety factors will drive the design of the beam is larger than necessary, causing the possible weight problems and higher fabrication costs. Beam analysis software can analyze the shape of the beam and different materials, to allow users to evaluate design options and select the final beam to optimize the ratio between cost and functionality.
