How would you have built this 52' x 112' cantilever?
(OP)
As a traffic engineer who is looking to switch to structural within the next year; I was wondering, how can such structures be built?
Feel free to be as detailed and digressing as possible.

Anything can be done if you are willing to pay for it. My unqualified gut feeling is that this is more of a soil mechanics problem than a structural one.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

What I remember is they were very concerned with vibration, and models can only do so much. So they budgeted in dampeners and designed for them in the structural system, and then the company moved in, a couple of years went by, and no problems so no dampeners. I think it helped the company was a construction company in the understanding department. (Forgive me if I messed up a detail on that story...)
It's cool looking but I agree with Paddington, not the most efficient structure :)

I'd have started with a Vierendeel truss on top.

Sounds like the architect in you talking. Without the diagonals, it would have been much heavier.

Doable I guess, but difficult.

Kind of like when my insurance agent showed up in a new $100,000 Porsche a few years back and was so proud of it.
I got a new insurance agent the next day - and saved a ton of money!! My fault that I did not act sooner...

I just wonder, being in Michigan, how this thing will fare when the New Madrid gives...

They are a construction company. The statement is "We can build stuff like this!" If the roof leaks, it is every bit as good as Falling Water.

however I value your opinion and think the same way.
