Reference height (max H/2 or 6m)= 6 m
Cei = (hi/10)0.2 (but not less than 0.9) = 0.9

pi = Iw*q*Ce*Ct*Cgi*Cpi

End Zone Width

The end-zone width is the lesser of:
• 10% of the least horizontal dimension = 0.1m
• 40% of the height of the building (H) = 0.4m
but not less than:
• 4% of the least horizontal dimension = 0.04m
• 1m
z = 1m
