Designs of tall buildings for wind loads are mainly dependent upon standard wind codes which are very limited as, considering surrounding buildings arrangement is very complicated. Wind loading codes are developed from different wind tunnel tests of isolated buildings for different topography conditions and wind environments. When the interference effects (IF) of neighbouring buildings are considered, the wind tunnel tests must require and interference factor should be found out. Neighbouring structure influences the wind induced forces on a building by increasing or decreasing the forces. Here, in this paper attempt has been made to study wind interference effect on tall building by using available experimental results. The masonry infill walls influence greatly the response of the RC structures under lateral loading due to their contribution to strength and stiffness. In this study, the equivalent diagonal strut model is considered. The basic parameter of this strut is its equivalent width. By providing diagonal strut as infill wall it has been shown that it increases the stiffness of building under lateral load.
