No Strength has been reduced.
There are 2 slabs. The lower slab being the structural slab, and the upper slab being a wearing course. You reinforce the structural slab for all of the superimposed loads. The wearing course is supported by the structural slab. The wearing slab may have temperature and shrinkage reinforcement to limit cracks. The structural slab will have flexural reinforcement as well as temperature and shrinkage reinforcement.
