Do not support your balcony! | ProArchitect 

This was the best explanation of where to place the rebar that I have seen. Thank you!

Beautiful explanation. Senior structural engineer here.

I came here to find a construction answer... Going back with answers for life. Cheers man✌️

Architect is the perfect mixture of drama and structural engineeribg xD amazing!

Hey Milos, I want to thank you. Recently i quit my job at an MEP drafting office. I wasn't feeling it anymore and it wasn't for what I studied, i studied civil engineering. While I recently failed my bachelors study, i was able to get an associate degree and going back into the CE world. The things you talk about, automatisation and parametric design really got me thinking. So, I am applying from entry level jobs to restart my engineering passion. And taking some extra courses on revit, dynamo and rhino. Thank you, man, glad I came by your video's again.

It's amazing how much knowledge on science and architecture you shared without it becoming boring. I do have a question though, in a case where the house has already been completed then I plan for a somewhat cosmetic job of adding a balcony to the masters bedroom. While going for cantilever, is it safe to merge the new concrete to the old already finished building?

Engineering & Philosophical advice on par. Thanks dude.

I want to support you, but I don't know if you're a cantilever or a beams kinda guy.

I really enjoyed this Architectural Philosophy !!

Thanks sir you explain very simple language and examples.

A great principle. More isn't always better.

2;08 I appreciate you demonstrating how Elvis Presley could damage the cantilever. ;)

Great explanation!

Very interesting, thanks!

Thanks Milos.

Then what is solution?

What about putting the rebar on both top and bottom?

Very well explained!

Do you have any information for steel framed cantilever balconies with metal decking rather than the concrete? We are building a steel building and want a cantilever deck and want to know the maximum size we can extend from the main building.

amazing!

Love this clip 😂

Yes thrive my friends.

We have taken 5 feet cantilever in staircase for midlanding with column ,column size 6 inch×21 inches and cantilever beam also 6 inches × 21 inches. Is it Corect ?or can we suport cantilever ?please reply. Thanks for nice information.

Love your video. What do you think of Wood frame 2-storey building with a concrete cantilever balcony?

Do the same principles apply if it is wood and floor joist?

So how exactly do we support a previously built 5 feet long concrete beam ?

This is crazy bro

I didn't get one thing, what problem would happen if the steel rebar is in the low part of the cantilever which is supported by cantilever?

Nice..

That's great!

Sorry for commenting. I just want to clarify the engineering aspect of the video as some might take it wrongly. Good analogy for already built houses but there are misonceptions about the loading patterns as bending moment is just one of the failure modes in structutes. If these are already built houses, the logic is plausible since the design of the tension of the beam is at the top. However, putting a column will not be counter intuitive if it is placed correctly(Tension@bottom safely carried by the concrete) as the moments and deflections on certain points will be decreased. Still a risk though a little bit of added external reinforcement at the top of the beam will help a ton This is a different scenario if the building is still in design tho. If such vibrations and deflections are calculated correctly with the degradation of the beam in mind. The engineer should already think of the maintenance methods if such worst case scenario happen.

deep talk

I wanted to understand how to cantilever a roof of a carport, but I think, based on your explanation, that I am the cantilever type with anger management issues. Is that a sub category?

Absolutely love it!

Please give proper solution too

Hi I have a question, can you pour cement on the interior part first, let it dry, then pour cement on the balcony part? Hope someone answers. 🙏

Deep

I used to think in terms of "plant people" and "animal people." Synonymous and physics is more basic so it (I predict) wins.

What about arch people?... ;)

Too much bs, I am just here to find out how balcony in high rises support the weight, not a full life lesson

Wut

There are two types of people - the self-mutilators with tattoos and body piercings, and those without. While the self-mutilators may think they are the wild ones, the risk-takers; the non-self-mutilators are the ones who do not need such 'support columns' for they have self confidence and inner strength.

I hate beams .they are ugly and stupid.

What a load of waffle
