As an H beam can support more weight over a longer span, this means they’re suitable for use in larger constructions, such as large buildings and bridges. H beams can also withstand tension and compression, making them suitable for supporting vertical loads.
I beams are also used for a variety of construction applications, including providing structure and support for buildings. However, I beams have a much shorter span than H beams. This means they’re more suitable for applications where the available space may be constricted, such as flooring or roofing.
