One constant is the height of the cross section which is always h^4. This means that for a beam if you increase its height by 2, you increase its stiffness by a factor of 16. or put it another way, you decrease its deflection by 16.

It's h^3 or 8 times stiffer if you double the height.

Strength increases with the square of the height, so double the height and it becomes 4 times as strong.
