Loads on Stub Cantilevers

Gravity Loads on a stub cantilever framing into a lateral member (column, beam or wall) are taken into account in the program. Gravity Loads on Frame Members show gravity loads due to stub cantilevers.

If stub cantilever is a gravity member and framing into a lateral wall or beam, loads on the stub are transferred to the beam/wall as a concentric moment and torque in addition to point load.

If stub cantilever is a gravity member and framing into a lateral column, loads on the stub are transferred to the column as a point load and moment.

If stub cantilever is a lateral member, it is directly included in analytical model and loads on the stub directly applied onto itself.
