The Rectangular beam is efficient. It is mainly used bcoz of its moment of inertia along its axis. Moment of inertia is 2nd moment of area, which is quite less in case of circular beam. Rectangular beam can resists larger loads.

When dealing with bending stresses all the stress is acting on the top and bottom of the beam. If you have a circular beam your max cross sectional area would be at the center of the beam where no bending stress occurs. If you have a rectangular beam you will have more cross sectional area at the top and bottom. You will also have less material in the center of the beam where no stress is acting. So a rectangular beam is the better choice. waste of material is more in case of circular beam.

Round steel calculation formula is {Length of bar = Pi x D}
Weight of bar = Length of bar in Mtr x Square of Diameter in MM x 0.006167 = Answer will be in KG

yes, I m agree with Hamraaz. Moment of inertia of rectangular shaped beam is greater than circular shaped beam.
so, rectangular shaped beam is efficient.

according to material of beam if we use conc then rectangular beam but on using steel beam tubular section are better than rectangular. as construction

It is all about the section modulus of the shape of member while calculating the section modulus for equal area of rectangular section and circular section, rectangular has more section modulus hence rectangular is efficient under bending stresses
