In our ovens, we make the support slab out of ordinary reinforced portland cement concrete, and this supports the weight of the oven, which is insulated top and bottom. I don't know what they do with the masonry heaters. I'd guess that the floor of the oven was the flat top of a firebrick arch which is self supporting, but I don't know enough about the subject to say for sure.
