<![CDATA[One of the most common types of steel profiles used in column and beam construction is the H-Beam profile. This profile has the characteristics of high flexural strength and cross-sectional efficiency against axial compressive loads. There are two main types of H-Beams in widespread use: hot-rolled (prefabricated) H-Beams and welded (welded assemblies). The use of H-Beam steel profiles as column elements is increasing due to their good compressive capacity and structural efficiency. H-Beam profiles are generally used in hot-rolled and welded-built-up forms, which have different manufacturing characteristics, structural behavior, and fabrication costs. The analysis was conducted using theoretical calculations based on SNI 1729:2020, nonlinear analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) using SAP2000. The parameters evaluated include nominal compressive capacity (Pn), ultimate numerical capacity (Pu), behavior and stability against global buckling, fabrication costs, and the cost-to-capacity ratio. The results showed that the hot-rolled profile had a nominal control compressive capacity of 162,743 kgf and a numerical control ultimate capacity of 193,015 kgf, higher than the welded built-up profile of 158,710 kgf and 189,465 kgf. The hot-rolled profile also showed better stability with a buckling factor of 1.97455, compared to the welded built-up profile of 1.92217. Based on structural and economic evaluations, the hot-rolled H-Beam profile showed more optimal performance than the welded built-up profile under the conditions of this study]]>
