Does anyone know what this floor system is called or know of any design resources for it? See the attached picture. Thanks!

Whatever it is, it looks sexy. Can you upload a PDF so that we can get a better look?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

In terms of morphology, it echoes:

1) Plane old beam and slab where you don't have the trenches.

2) Folded plate where you do have the trenches.
