waffle slab
Explanation:
The only references I found to "casetonadas" were to "losas casetonadas" and it appears to be a term used in Argentina:

Sus entrepisos perimetrales consisten en **losas casetonadas**, con casetones de 0,30 m de profundidad, que apoyan exteriormente sobre vigas perimetrales

This type of structure is known as "forjado reticular" in Spain, and "waffle slab" (or two-way joist construction) in English.

"Casetones" are pans or domes used in making waffle slab, and figure 8.4 on this page shows a photo.

Photo of the finished product here (ceiling in the 2nd photo): This project respectfully utilizes the architecture of the existing building to its best advantage. The luminescent workspace with uplifting lighting is extremely clear, articulate, and quiet. Although the details are current and fresh, the **waffle slab** gives the project a timeless quality.”
