In order to study the influence of rainfall on the critical wind speed of flutter of long-span suspension bridges in mountainous area, the impact of rainfall on stiffening girder is analyzed based on the main characteristics of rainfall and the movement speed in all directions. The mechanical equation under the joint action of wind and rain is established and the impact force is transferred, the damping effect of rainfall is then derived, and the element damping matrix form of rainfall is obtained by combining the integration of shape function. Furthermore, the flutter motion equation of wind-rain-bridge coupling system is derived, and the finite element analysis method for critical wind speed of structural flutter considering the influence of rainfall is established. Finally, taking a large-span suspension bridge in mountainous area as the research object, the influence of rainfall on the critical wind speed of flutter is analyzed, the results indicate that the critical wind speed of flutter will be accordingly increased due to the existence of rainfall damping, whereas the mass of raindrops is too light and the final velocity of raindrops in the falling process is low, the critical wind speed of flutter increased by only 5.54% in the case of heavy rainstorm. Therefore, when the rainfall intensity is general, the influence of rainfall on the critical wind speed of flutter can be ignored.
