composite decking
Explanation:
Just asking for colaborante is missing the point entirely. The term is chapa colaborante. Collaborating sheet, or whatever, would be pure Spanglish and mean nothing.

I have in my notes that this is composite decking (also known as participating decking), which is steel sheeting with a deep dovetail profile, used as reinforcement in a composite floor (the forjado in this case). I think this is certainly a possibility, but I have lots of question marks next to it in my notes, which means I have to double check it. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that right now., but hope this helps.

agree  tazdog (X): well, this sure helped me out. Thanks!//I think "chapa coloborante" is "composite steel deck(ing)" and "forjado (etc.)" is "composite slab". http://www.cssbi.ca/Eng/Glossary.html

  -> I think forjado colaborante = composite steel deck floor system and that forjado mixto = composite floor system/slab
