It is found that the wind turbulence parameters during the typhoon and monsoon conditions share a considerable amount of similarity, and they can be described as the input turbulence parameters for the current wind-induced vibration theory. While the longitudinal turbulence integral scales are consistent with those in regional structural codes, the turbulence intensities and gust factors are less than the recommended values. The wind spectra obtained via the field measurements can be well approximated by the von Karman spectra. For the buffeting response of the bridge under strong winds, its vertical acceleration responses at the extreme single-cantilever state are significantly larger than those in the horizontal direction and the increasing tendencies with mean wind velocities are also different from each other. The identified frequencies of the bridge are utilized to validate its finite element model (FEM), and these field-measurement acceleration results are compared with those from the FEM-based numerical buffeting analysis with measured turbulence parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20041228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,25]],"date-time":"2020-02-25T04:21:26Z","timestamp":1582604486000},"page":"1228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Strong Wind Characteristics and Buffeting Response of a Cable-Stayed Bridge under Construction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3688-8673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8256-0834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2746-182X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuhui","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siying","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Railway Engineering Research Institute, China Academy of Railway Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14126, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jweia.2008.11.002","article-title":"Wind turbulence characteristics study at the Stonecutters Bridge site: Part I-Mean wind and turbulence intensities","volume":"97","author":"Hui","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
