| Abstract | ||
| Tiger Gate Bridge, a steel suspension bridge with a main span of 888m and a stiffening box girder, is located at the Pearl River Estuary, Guangdong, Province, one of the typhoon-prone area in China. Fucusing on the developing of the full aeroelastic model of the bridge and simulation of the wind field of the bridge site in a large boundary wind tunnel at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, some main results about the wind resistant properties of the bridge including aerodynamic instability, buffeting responses both being in operation and erection stages by using of a full aeroelastic model wind tunnel testing are introduced. Some of analytical approaches to those aerodynamic behaviours are also presented, and compared with experimental data of the testing. | ||
