Because it is more flexible than other bridges, the dynamic behaviors caused by wind have to be carefully studied. The most significant aerodynamic phenomenon for cable stayed bridges are flutter instability and buffeting effects. Several factors influence these aerodynamic phenomenon. Besides structural features ( mass, stiffness, damping), flutter derivatives and wind force coefficients are the most important ones. In this research project, section model was used to study the effects of bridge deck shape and wind attack angle on the flutter derivatives and wind force coefficients. Three deck geometry: plate section, box section and one similar to Kao-Pin-Hsi bridge, were used while the wind attack angle were varied from -6 to +6 at 2 interval. Experimental results indicate that the plate girder type, which possess asymmetric shape and prone to flow separation, has higher value of force coefficients and most unstable flutter derivatives. On the other hand, the box girder type has a better symmetric shape and fairing to weaken flow separation, therefore, exhibits lower value of force coefficients and more stable flutter derivatives. As for the wind attack angle, negative attack angle tends to cause aerodynamic instability, positive attack angle will stabilize bridge.The flutter derivatives and force coefficients were then applied to estimate flutter velocity and buffeting response of a cable stayed bridge with similar structural characteristics as Kao-Ping-Hsi bridge. Results indicate that considering the mode coupled flutter derivatives will reduce critical velocity and increase bridge dynamic responses. Keywords: suspended bridges, attack angle, flutter derivatives, force coefficient.
