Abstract
The wind resistant design against the wind induced vibration has based on the sectional model wind test, while some examples of the full bridge model wind tests have been carried out in order to verify safety of the target structure and its sectional model test result. In this process main topics in the testing technique are always the relationships or interpretation among these two methods. In this paper this discussion will be summarized and the re cent coupled flutter analysis will be introduced from a viewpoint of the method interpretation.
