If the beams are made of the same thickness and cross-sectional dimensions the box beam is twice as strong, vertically and the same strength horizontally. However, if a diagonal force is applied, the box beam could collapse where the I-beam is less likely to do so.
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.
I-beam
A singly reinforced beam only has steel reinforcement on the tension side (along the bottom of the cross section) where as a doubly reinforced beam has steel reinforcement on both the tension and compression sides, ie. the top and bottom of the cross section.

The steel reinforcement used will depend on several factors. Column length, beam length, and the column and beam cross section all depend on how much steel will be needed.

Most highway beam bridges are made of concrete and steel. Beam Bridges are in the form of plate grinders, box grinders or trusses.

It proves shear reinforcement in the beam.

Strong as Steel was created in 1990.
Among our handy steel beam tables you can find standard beams' dimensions and beams' weights, steel hollow sections tables and other steel profiles data.
The density of a substance stays the same, no matter how much space it takes up.
