A Π-shaped girder is the most commonly used in medium-span cable-stayed bridges. However, there are few studies on the buffeting force spanwise correlation of Π-shaped girders. To improve the accuracy of the buffeting calculation of Π-shaped girders, research was conducted on the buffeting force spanwise correlation. In this study, the section models of bluff double-side box girders (BDSBG) with three aspect ratios (B/H=5, 10 and 15) were made. Then, in the two grid turbulent flow fields and the signature turbulence caused by uniform airflow, the pressure-measured tests were performed to measure the wind pressure time-history of each pressure tap, which was used to calculate the buffeting forces and their power spectra, spanwise cross-correlation coefficients, and spanwise coherence functions. Moreover, the effects of B/H and flow fields on the power spectrum and spanwise correlation of the buffeting forces of BDSBG were studied. The results show that: 1) with the increase of B/H, the energy of the buffeting forces gradually decreases; the higher the turbulence intensity of the flow field, the more energy is provided to the buffeting forces; moreover, the influence of the vortex shedding frequency on the buffeting force power spectrum can be greatly weakened by the grid turbulent flow-field. 2) with the increase of B/H, both the spanwise correlation and coherence of the buffeting forces increase; these values are much greater than those of the fluctuating wind, and the difference in the spanwise correlation and coherence between the buffeting forces and the fluctuating wind also increases with the increase of B/H; furthermore, with the increase of the turbulence intensity, the buffeting force spanwise correlation increases, while both the discreteness of the buffeting force spanwise coherence and the influence of the vortex shedding frequency on the buffeting force spanwise coherence decreases.
