Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges in Mountainous Areas includes the author’s research on such bridges and adopts a combination of on-site measurements, wind tunnel tests, theoretical analyses and numerical calculations to discuss: the characteristics and parameters of the wind environment at bridge sites; the buffeting response of bridges under the effect of winds on bridges in mountainous areas; the vortex response of wide-bodied flat steel box girders; chattering characteristics (i.e. noise characteristics); and the vibration characteristics of the wind-vehicle-bridge system

• Includes detailed analysis of the complex wind environment at bridge sites and the impact of pulsating wind on such bridges
• Describes how to reduce fatigue damage caused by buffeting in bridge design and operation
• Proposes a new wind speed calculation system and its impact on vibration
• Helps bridge builders, civil and structural engineers to design bridge form operation in mountainous areas
