Ciao Angela. Purtroppo anche le ricerche nei miei testi e dizionari sono risultate vane. Allego un link che sperio ti sia comunque utile a desumere dal contesto di che si tratta. HTH

cantilevered girder pier

If you google pier rather than pillar, you will find a lot more results. I hope the ones I have quoted will be useful.

cantilever pillar

my first search was for a slanted cross beam pillar..cantilever makes more sense to me (see the attached link) but honestly I am not sure.

It seems to me the beams are slanted to better distribute weight but I do not know if this is the term you are looking for..take a look and good luck!

Note from asker:
The photo I have shows a slanting pillar going from under the bridge into the water.
Similar to the slanted piers seen here: http://www.ishmii.org/Case_Studies/Canada/Esplanade
