They also create a very accurate bearing level, reducing the amount of levelling up that is required prior to starting to build up the superstructure.

	Ground beams may be used to support brick work, block work and so on, but may also be used at the edge of in situ concrete floor slabs, where they form permanent shuttering. They tend to be square or rectangular in section, and can be designed to incorporate notches, end details and sloping faces.
