Abstract
In this paper, the wind pressure distribution on the various faces of two p rismatic bodies with square cross-section and height to width ratio (h/b) o f 1 and 3 are investigated. The mutual interference effects when the bodies are in tandem arrangement are considered. The pressure distribution is sig nificantly altered when the interfering body (either h/b = 1 or 3) is in fr ont.
