This paper consists of an experimental work of a solid cantilever steel beam with a span of 1000 mm and a rectangular cross section of 75mmx20mm; the beam is connected to asolid column by 6mm arc welding, strain gauge and strain indicator were used to measure strains and dial gauge to measure deflections. The experimental results of the bending stresses and deflections are compared to with the results from theory of Macaulay Methods and computer program called Strand7. The agreement is found quiet enough and satisfied for experimental and Strand7 results for both deflection and bending stress. For the theoretical results, there is a good consensus for bending stress values with the experimental values. Due to deficiency of shear and torsional forces in Macaulay Method, there are a high percentages difference between Macaulay Method and both experimental Method and Strand7 deflection values.
