You have a truck and you need a factory you can park the truck in where the floor can handle the weight and spread it over enough of the ground surface to stop parts of the flood sinking.
In case 1 we'll use steel reinforced concrete:
>the concrete doesn't elastically deform much preserving the ground under it>the steel is isolated from the atmosphere stopping corrosion>the construction takes 5 tons of highly refined and processed ore and 50 tons of barely processed crushed rockIn case 2 we'll use steel plate:
>the floor does elastically deform compressing the ground under the wheels eroding support over time>the steel is exposed to the atmosphere and damp ground leading to rapid corrosion>the construction takes 25 tons of highly processed ore and have to be either craned in or made of pieces so small it takes hundreds of man-hours to weld it all togetherYou aren't smarter than every modern engineer despite your inflated sense of self worth.
