Here's a better picture of the work being done at Meri's house. Here Ramon, Meri's husband, is in the blue shirt and is helping to pour a 'viga' (I don't know what it's called in English). They currently have block laid all the way up to floor level and need to fill in with gravel up to that level.

like a joist, or a girder?

Nate told me that is might be called a 'concrete beam' in English. He doesn't think it's called a joist. Hmm... It's like a section of concrete that is poured on top of the wall all around to strengthen the block wall.
