Cantilever wall
Explanation:
Woerterbuch Bau - Kragbalken - cantilever beam

Cantilever walls are walls that do not have any supports and thus have a free unsupported excavation. Cantilever walls restrain retained earth by the passive resistance provided by the soil below the excavation. http://www.deepexcavation.com/en/cantilever-walls-cantilever...
