Structural Steelwork Support On Passive Slab

[davidc]

Can structural steelwork generally be supported on passive slabs ?

I've got steels in my building. They are across the long spans of the lounge/kitchen/dining area and the gable windows upstairs.

Yes, as long as ring beams are observed at those points. Studs get stacked in multiples where they support a steel, and the timber transfers the load to the slab. 
Commonplace in TF structures.

I have two steel beams sat on top of steel posts on my insulated slabs.
