	The effects of wind loads on long span bridges is a major concern to bridge designers. Traditionally wind tunnel testing on scaled models is used to perform this analysis. This testing method is time-consuming and expensive. Advances in computer technologies have facilitated the application of computer modeling of wind-induced effects on bridge structures. Computer modeling has the capacity to reduce the time and cost of bridge design and analysis relative to wind loading.
	TRB Keywords: Computational wind engineering, computer modeling, bridges, critical flutter, wind tunnels.
