3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1two-way joist construction / waffle slab Explanation: This is referring to concrete. Viguetas are joists and casetones are "moldes cuadrados de metal o fibra de vidrio--or poliestireno in your case--que se emplean para formar los nervios (or the "viguetas") de un forjado reticular." The English translation of these casetones is pan forms or domes (source: Diccionario Visual de Arquitectura, D.K. Ching). Another expression for the "forjado reticular" mentioned is "waffle slab." First link below shows this system in Spanish, second in English.
