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.

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.
The recommended type of steel beam for deck construction is typically a wide-flange beam, also known as an I-beam. These beams provide strong support and stability for the deck structure.

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

The cast of On the Great Steel Beam - 1914 includes: Harry Gripp as Lombardi
It proves shear reinforcement in the beam.

The density of a substance stays the same, no matter how much space it takes up.
The recommended type of support beam for floor joists in a residential construction project is typically a steel I-beam or a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beam. These beams provide strong support for the floor joists and help distribute the weight of the structure evenly.
Among our handy steel beam tables you can find standard beams' dimensions and beams' weights, steel hollow sections tables and other steel profiles data.
Strong as Steel was created in 1990.
Two identical steel columns are used to support a level beam by being placed vertically on either side of the beam, providing equal and opposite forces to keep the beam in place.
