Structural

I am looking into analyzing an existing structure which has what was once called an "aerocrete" floor construction. It is basicially a 7-1/2" light weight aerocrete slab with 6" I beams cast into it. Wire was wrapped around the beams to get some sort of composite action I am assuming. I was wondering if anyone has seen this before, how they analyzed it, or has links to any useful resources.

Thanks in advance.
