Annotation: Wind loads on buildings are mainly evaluated by using the building codes and specifications for the most part based on the wind tunnel tests carried out for the open terrain structures. But as shown by some researchers, wind loads on a building in an actual environment can greatly differ from those measured on an isolated building. Adjacent structures can either decrease or increase the wind flow induced actions on a building depending mainly on the geometry and location of these structures, their orientation relative to the flow direction and characteristic properties of the adjoining territory. Hence, this effect known as interference should be taken into account by designers and planners. In this article, there are considered and analyzed the researches into the field of the interference effect. The article mainly deals with the wind load modifications under the interference effect influence. To give common practical recommendations to designers and planners, a systematic approach to study the problem of interference is needed to describe, compare and evaluate the experimental data available, to specify common points of contact and spheres under consideration, and on this basis to formulate common recommendations and limiting conditions. The interference mechanism has been explicitly described on the basis of experimental results.
