Concrete Pan Deck on Pilings in Arctic Region

Concrete Pan Deck on Pilings in Arctic Region

Concrete Pan Deck on Pilings in Arctic Region

(OP)
I am undertaking the construction of a metal building warehouse in Northern Alaska built approximately 4' off the ground on 10" diameter wood pilings, 8' on center, spanning 40' x 75'.  I am looking for creative alternatives to span the concrete floor accross the pilings with a 6" thick heated slab that will also need to be insulated underneath to keep the permafrost from melting over time.

You might want to post this in the structural engineering forum.
