Can H-Beam be welded to Standard I-Beam?
Can H-Beam be welded to Standard I-Beam?
(OP)
Hi Guyz
I am bit confused, I want to Know that Can H-Beam be welded to Standard I-Beam?
Because I-Beam is having bit slopped section.

Two elements can be welded together if they are of similar metal properties.
Thy can be cut into the required shape to allow a fillet or penetration weld to connect them.

The sections you're calling I beams are what we call S (slender) sections, generally used for columns. The sections you're calling H beams are what we call W (wide flange) sections. Depending on the weights per foot used, their dimensions can differ a lot. Some of them fit nicely, while others would take quite a bit of coping to fit together and the result would be pretty ugly. The same goes for C channels connected to W or S sections or to one another. Detailing this sort of stuff for efficient fabrication is an art.

Consideration is required when connecting the flanges, and a transition slope can be profile in the weld detail.
HEB's/IPE's is much easier to detail than older BS universal beams/columns.
As said before, I am talking generally here, without knowing more from the OP
