high-rise building
Shown under construction, this is another example of a building overhang supported by a heavy truss system. The corner overhang in this case has to support the full weight of the building above it. Note that the relative magnitude of the forces in the shear members of the overhang Warren truss can be seen by the relative sizes of the members.
The overhanging section of the building is in the center of the slide. This is a good example for showing the flow of forces in a truss system which transfers heavy loading due to constant column spacing above to a limited number of columns at ground level.
