Crazy cantilevered steel deck 6

[DoubleStud]

I found this video on youtube. What do you think of this deck? The guy went to the end of the deck and jumped a little bit, you can clearly see the deck moves up and down. At minute 3:55 he shows the structural detail.

One of the big learnings I've had from this forum is that the way NZ does structural engineering is not how the rest of the world does it
We are very involved in almost all of our projects, with lots of site visits and final sign off required from us before the Council will issue their Compliance certificate at the end
So, we would have been on site to check those bolts + the reinforcement in the footing if we had designed it

Yeah I believe in the state of Queensland there are specific check points for builds along similar lines of what you describe. Other states there are check points I believe but more for building surveyors rather than engineers.

Often the engineer's responsibility stops at the design. However diligent clients will make it the engineer's responsibility to perform suitable checks. Likewise diligent engineers might insist on site checks on certain aspects if they are particularly complex.

However for a standard residential project there might be no site visits required. Likewise some of my industrial jobs might be a days travel away. If the client is only paying for the design then they just get the design.
