To enhance wind resistance safety for construction personnel and structural integrity, this study investigates the buffeting response vibration damping measures of a steel truss stiffened arch bridge with main span 400 meters during its maximum cantilever state. A finite element model was developed, three-dimensional pulsating field simulated using harmonic synthesis method. Time-domain analysis applied to compute displacement responses at end rib top buckle tower. Numerical results were compared tunnel tests full-bridge under varying speeds, revealing similar patterns. At reference speed, predicted peak displacements 22.157 21.778 cm in lateral vertical directions end, 16.994 laterally tower top, deviations from 13.2%, 10.2%, 6.9%, respectively. mitigate these displacements, wind-resistant cables flexible connections analyzed. Lateral reduced by up 84.8% 61.0% while further 76.8%, ensuring enhanced safety. The agreement between numerical experimental validates proposed methods, providing strong basis design strategies large-span bridges.
