Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) depends on aerodynamic shapes of bridge girders, which should be treated carefully in the design of long-span bridges. This paper studies the VIV performance of a suspension bridge with the truss girder which contains two separated decks. Although truss girders generally show better VIV performance than box girders, significant vibrations of this type of girders occurred in the wind tunnel tests based on a large-scale sectional model. Several lock-in regions with the same vibration frequency were observed, corresponding to different shedding vortices. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out, and monitoring points were set behind different components to study the characteristics of the shed vortices. As the truss girder consists of many members, the results show that various vortices with different dominant frequencies are formed in the wake flow. The vertical VIV of the bridge is probably driven by the vortices behind or above the upper deck, which is related to the guardrails. The torsional VIV of the bridge is probably driven by the vortices behind or below the lower deck, which is related to the service road at lower wind speeds while may be related the vertical stabilizers at higher wind speeds.
