I am analyzing a 1922 construction system which consists of (from top to bottom, materials per drawings):
1 inch cement finish
4 inch cinder concrete fill
4 inch concrete slab
There is a note indicating "cinder conc 1+2+5".
I initially assumed the 4" concrete slab is the structural support and the rest is non-structural topping. However, others think the 4" cinder can be included as a structural element, thus making the analysis for an 8" thick slab.
Who is right?
