A cantilever beam is a horizontal structural element that extends beyond its support, anchored at only one end. Unlike other beams that have supports at both ends, a cantilever beam is free at one end and capable of carrying loads over its unsupported length. It is commonly used in structures like balconies, bridges, and overhangs where one side needs to remain open.
