Wind Tunnel Experiments on Interference Effects of a High-Rise Building on the Surrounding Low-Rise Buildings in an Urban Block

High-rise buildings cause accelerated winds around them. However, the interference effects of high-rise on surrounding low-rise in urban blocks have not been evaluated. This study investigated wind pressure coefficients roofs and walls a building through tunnel experiments. Seventy-two directions were considered from 0° to 355° 5° increments, influence direction was At 30° angle, positive negative peak occurred at leeward side building. The pressure, approximately 1.4 times that without nearby building, windward corner front wall value, three observed edge roof Thus, caused by may result unexpected damage buildings.
