Guidelines for poured concrete over corrugated metal
Guidelines for poured concrete over corrugated metal
It seems common in some commercial construction to use corrugated steel plates to form a 'deck' surface which concrete is later poured onto. The combined steel/concrete then forms a very strong floor surface.

I don't know if such a guide is published but if this is ever something done by contractors on a small scale then... maybe.
Also though I'm in the US where wood framing is common in many countries masonry seems to be more typical, so any global examples/information would be welcome also.
Thanks!
