^^^ Not sure what you are saying. All I was saying is it is pretty obvious that those floorplates aren't supporting their own weight. Obviously they carry some load, but, regardless of the composition (steel I Beam or not), the arches are clearly carrying most of the weight.

The horizontal striations have no bearing on this as all reinforced concrete structures have various striations in them. So does brick, hell brick has a "striation" around every single brick. That doesn't mean it is any weaker.
