Cantilevered Concrete Slab Design
Cantilevered Concrete Slab Design
(OP)
Hi everyone:
I would like to know if somebody knows of a method (suggestions, text or resources) to design a cantilevered concrete slab that is going to be supported on masonry shearwalls. the architect does want to project it around 6 feet from the edge of the walls to give this residential building a clean sleek look and plenty of light to the living room.
Any hints would be appreciated

The second is the availability of sufficient counterweight for balance. If the slab is not continuing to a reasonable length on the other side if the masonry wall, the shuttering for the slab (particularly the props) should not be stripped unless and until sufficient height of masonry is built above the support as the counterweight.

Yes, there is going to be a backspan (I figured about 15')from the bearing masonry wall to the interior c.i.p. slab.
There will be plenty of counterweight on the other side of the cantilever, not only from the slab itself, but from the edges of that interior (counterweight) slab supporting the masonry wall above.
Thanks!
