A Comparative Assessment of Aerodynamic Models for Buffeting and Flutter of Long-Span Bridges

Wind-induced vibrations commonly represent the leading criterion in the design of long-span bridges. The aerodynamic forces in bridge aerodynamics are mainly based on the quasi-steady and linear unsteady theory. This paper aims to investigate different formulations of self-excited and buffeting forc...
