Vortex-induced force (VIF) identification and modelling of a long-span bridge are often conducted in terms of aeroelastic sectional model tests in wind tunnels. However, there are uncertainties inherent in wind tunnel model tests so that vortex-induced vibration (VIV) still occurs in real long-span bridges designed according to wind tunnel test results. This paper presents a framework for VIF identification of a long-span bridge based on field-measured wind and acceleration data. The framework is composed of the four steps: (1) decompose field-measured acceleration response time histories using variational mode decomposition (VMD) method; (2) obtain velocity and displacement response time histories using frequency domain integration (FDI) method; (3) establish and update the finite element model and identify the generalized VIF time histories of the bridge; and (4) identify the parameters in the polynomial VIF models and decide the most suitable VIF model. The proposed framework is finally applied to a real suspension bridge with a recent VIV event. The results show that the proposed framework can accurately identify the generalized VIF acting on the bridge from the field-measured acceleration and wind data, and the derived most suitable VIF model can produce almost the same vortex-induced response (VIR) as the measured ones.
