✦ Synopsis

In Japan, wind-resistant designs of highway bridges up to the span length of 200 m are conducted according to the Wind-Resistant Design Manual for highway bridges. This manual is also applicable to the highway bridges up to the span length of 300 m with minor modification of its provisions. In this paper, the manual is outlined first to illustrate windresistant design procedure in Japan. Then turbulence effects included in the manual are described with Dr. Davenport's contributions to the manual.
