Short beam for arrangement
The advantage of HEA is primarily when you want to connect two beams together. It's easy to bolt H beams against each other, but with VKR you have to weld, which you sometimes want to avoid. Otherwise, VKR works just as well internally in the house where it doesn't rust.JOW said:

Rolled beam is cheaper, also it only has one "web," and the web can be thinner than the flanges, which results in higher load-bearing capacity per kg of beam.
VKR is good for columns as it has the same strength in all directions.
