Vehicle-bridge interaction is a critical subject in the understanding of the dynamic behaviour of highway bridges under vehicular traffic. Numerical methods often used to evaluate this interaction requires a reliable and efficient numerical model of the specified design truck. Some simplified truck numerical models have been proposed in the literature, but they meet specific design requirements. There is currently no truck model developed to meet the current Canadian bridge design requirements. The present research seeks to develop a simplified truck model that takes into account the loads and dimensions of current Canadian trucks. Since the development of a new truck model is a long and arduous process, the method used in this paper is based on calibrating Canadian truck models based on existing models from the literature. In this study, the calibration process for both the B train double and the CL-625 Canadian design truck are presented. Different parameters and results of both models are explained.
