Is there concrete on top of the 2x4s? If so, was the 2x4 decking on top of the open web steel trusses supported/shored up when concrete was poured on top? What is the distance between the trusses? Was lightweight concrete used? I'm considering different options for concrete floors other than concrete on corrugated steel composite decking. Thanks!
