Hi
Can anybody help me on this one?
What is the meaning of "Ct" in section database.
I tried looking in net but keep me directed to Tees cut from W-shape.
Thanks.

T-shaped sections can be cut from some of the W- shape sections as shown in the figure given below. Ct is the distance of the center of gravity of T-shape from the top flange along the local Y axis, if a T shape can be cut from that W shape. If a T shape cannot be cut from the W shape, input Ct as zero.
Thanks Dave. Can we input the value as 0 for tapered sections?
