The maximum cantilever figures indicated in Section 8.1 are based on a point load of 0.9kN positioned at the end of the cantilever. Cantilevers must be stiffened with a suitable flashing fixed to the end of the decking at every rib position to prevent spread of the deck profile; refer to Fig. 8.7a.
