A finite element model for curved continuous concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) composite truss girder bridges has been built, and a new iterative process has been proposed for the analysis of the vehicle-bridge coupled system. The vibration modes and impact factors of the curved continuous CFST composite truss girder bridge have been obtained. The effects of parameters on the impact factors, such as the vehicle speed and deck unevenness, have been studied. The results show that the impact factor of the bridge is much larger than the value calculated from the current design code. The resonant critical vehicle speed and the resonant critical loading position are varied for different girder spans. The vehicle speed limit cannot effectively reduce the dynamic impact, and the bridge deck roughness excitation has an amplification effect on the impact factor causing by resonance. The results in this study are useful for design consideration and maintenance of CFST composite truss girder bridges.
