CANTILEVERS

摘要

Acantilever is a structure projected out from the building and supported only at the building. Think of a see-saw. When you were a kid, a bad kid would get you, a good kid, up on a see-saw and then jump off. You get on a balcony supported by wooden I-beams projecting from the building. The fire damages the I-beam, and the balcony falls—you with it. Know your buildings.
