"Most of the beams and girders were made composite with the slabs through the use of shear studs. "Studs were not indicated on the design drawings for many of the core girders.
Inherent in this statement is: There were studs on all the floor girders.

No, not really. That's your interpretation, because it suits you.

Also, there is this clear and unequivocal statement:
SHEAR STUDS WHERE SHOWN ON PLAN - TYP INTERIOR BEAM OR GIRDER

The unequivocal part of the statement is WHERE SHOWN ON PLAN. Find the structural plan and SEE whether they were specified on the relevant girders or not.

As for the report, it was probably worked on by different engineers in 2004 and 2008, each of whom would have their own way of expressing things.
Dude, it's the same paragraph with key words missing. This was not two different writers.

You obviously have no idea how these things are done. And they are only "key words" because it suits you to believe that. IMHO they are wishy-washy words and were probably removed as such.
