Sye,
Thank you for the suggestion and help.
Also if you notice the model for the vertical members of parapet I have used "user table " sections. I had tough time calculating section properties for these vertical members. these are "back to back T sections" which is not possible to add as standard sections in STAAD. Hence I did create a user table. for Warping constant Cw , since I didn't know formulae hence I used nearest Standard T section's Warping constant and doubled it up.
Do you know any other software or book or any reference to calculate section properties of unconventional builtup sections.
Thanks
Mahesh
