(OP)
I am currently doing some modification work on an old 4 story apartment building in Penna. supposedly built in the 30's. Only in the basement is the steel structure visible--wf beams, open-web joists, some small I-beam joists. The elevated slabs are concrete poured on a draped steel mesh--in lieu of decking. The little I-beam joists have sheetmetal tags attached to them saying, "Steel Frame House Company, Pittsburg, Pa." and a contract number and piece number.
If anyone has any experience with this stuctural system, I would appreciate hearing from you.
