Best Answer

Firstly, it is more appropriate to call this type of beam a "grade beam".

It is not mandatory to provide a bed (of PCC or brickwork) beneath a grade beam in framed structures. However, it is advisable to provide one under the following conditions or when considering the following circumstances:

1. Unevenness of the ground on which the beam is laid.

2. Reducing cover to reinforcement for structures in contact with soil.

3. To prevent erosion of disturbed earth from below the beam.

4. Mobilization of elastic support throughout the length of the beam in the event of an over-load such as support settlement or earthquakes.

How far should the bedskirt be from the floor?

The bed skirt should be approximately one inch from the floor. If it is more than one inch from the floor, then any contents hidden under the bed will become visible. Leaving approximately one inch from the floor allows the space under the bed to benefit from air circulation.
