I'm at work and the pics on the website I was thinking about are not opening on my computer. Again, just as Dave Sherburn described. If it's just a barn or workshop, do you really need to heat the whole floor? What is your idea/s for the building (how warm do you want it)?
Just an idea, but if I had a 24x36 shop, I'd prepare the whole thing ready for the reinforcing. Form, add 2 inches of gravel, reinforce, and pour it 4ft in from the walls leaving a route to where you'd put your boiler (leaves you 16x28 open).

No since heating under a work bench or toolbox. In my house (100+ years old) part of the floor (warmest part without heating) was hard packed something (harder than dirt but not quite concrete) 3-4 inches of sand for insulation, and hardwood floor over it. Depending on how cold it gets in your area and prices, sand may be an option for you.
