Abstract
This paper compares measurements made on full-scale bridges with some of the various models, experimental and theoretical, that are used for the prediction of the response of long span bridges in turbulent wind. These models include full-bridge aeroelastic models, extended section models and a theoretical model which has come to be known as the quasi-steady aerodynamic approach. The comparisons are made for both suspension and cable-stayed bridges. The conclusion resulting of these comparisons is that there is a very satisfactory degree of consistency between all three methods. The quasi-steady aerodynamic approach is defined and four case studies are presented, including the Humber Bridge, the Farø Bridge and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
