How to achieve - Paraty house style cantilever from reinforced concrete,
(OP)
Hello,



I am currently working on a house similar to Paraty Style house of Marcio Kogan, and the cantilevers are quite long, they come up to 6 m. I don't want to have a very thick slab, and I also don't have option to additional support in front. How is it possible to achieve this. I don't have much experience with similar, I will be using reinforced concrete. I would appreciate any advice for this mater
Thanks

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Thank you all for your comments, I think there might be an option for a prestressed concrete solution, or steel beams inside the concrete, which one do you think its better? Where it is going to be built, I am not sure they have much of an option for a prestressed concrete, I am aware it is going to be quite expensive though.

I'm curious about the foundation. I bet that will cost more than the structure?

Precast conc. planks, with topping, bearing on the top and bottom chords of some full story heigh steel trusses. The trusses are anchored into the foundation in the back span, and they are fabricated with a positive chamber (upward) out in the canti. section, so that they are approx. flat with a little more than the DL loading in place.

I am not an expert, but I just looked up "Paraty Style house of Marcio Kogan". The thing is embedded into a mountainside. Probably, this helps their foundations a bit. The side drawing views show a flight of stairs going down from the front of the upper section, right where I would want to place a column.
I hope your contract is cost plus!

@dhengr I am considering this option, it seems reasonable. Although I was discussing with the client, and he is insisting on ICF blocks, I am just quite unsure that they can provide some of their products for this type of a house.
