What Are USFB's ?

Westok USFBs (Ultra Shallow Floor Beams) combine the concrete slab within the depth of the steel beam in order to create extremely shallow or slim floor construction.

There is no “standard” beam size or depth. Each USFB design is carried out to achieve the EXACT depth specified by the Engineer or client. To date beams as low as 165mm have been used, though the typical range requested is between 190mm to 350mm.

The beams comprise pronouncedly asymmetric cellular tees, to provide a wide bearing for either pre-cast units or a profiled metal deck.

The beams are available from ex stock steel, and there is no minimum order quantity. USFBs can be pre-cambered without cost or impact on lead-time.
