<<< I can't imagine why a weak form of concrete would be used if the importance of strength was obviously shown by the fact that steel reinforcement was used. >>>

You're not in construction or building design are you. The floor slab concrete in a building with a steel structure and a pan-deck floor is primarily for leveling. Something you can build partition walls on and lay carpet on. It is not the structure of the building. The steel floor joists are the floor structure.
