Experimental Study of Interference Effects of a High-Rise Building on the Snow Load on a Low-Rise Building with a Flat Roof

To explore the interference effects of a high-rise building on the snow load on a low-rise building with a flat roof, a series of wind tunnel tests were carried out with fine silica sand as a substitute for snow particles. The effects of the height of the interfering building and the distance betwee...
