An overall floor depth of only 320mm. USFB with SD225 deck sat on the bottom flange, and concrete within the depth of the beam.

Fabricator: Hayes Engineering
Engineer: Faber Maunsell
Span: 7.2m
Beam: 320mm x 216.5kg/m USFB

The onerous floor loading of 7.5kN/m2 + heavy point load, led the engineer to consider concrete. However, the USFB met every criteria for depth, cost and lead-time.
