Cantilever Deck

 

1989-1990

Students: Rowan Hernandez, Kim Throndson, John Morrena, Lee Benson

Advisor: George Hasslein

In this particular structure, nothing touches the ground. The load is transferred by cables up to the mass then back down to the ground plaque on the base. The mass of the structure was built by only one female and one male architecture student at the sport shop, however, others helped with the welding. The deck uses strong anchors to demonstrate the use of a cantilever.
