Spanish term or phrase: Losas alveolares
Hi,

From the same energy saving construction materials document under the same heading 'Forjados' is the term:

'Losas alveolares, con losa superior'

The best I can find for 'losa alveolar' is 'hollow-core slab'. Could anyone tell me if I'm on the right track here and if not do you have an alternative?

Many thanks again!

grid slab / waffle slab


Explanation:
I imagine it's this, i.e. a slab formed like a grid or a waffle underneath to make it lighter. See link for explanation:
