(i) Dead load: Dead load refers to the weight of all permanent and non-movable structural components of a building or structure. This includes the weight of the walls, roof, flooring, and any other fixed parts of the building. Dead loads are relatively constant and do not change over time. Examples of dead loads include the weight of the concrete in a building’s foundation, the weight of the steel in a bridge, and the weight of the roofing material on a house.
(ii) Live load: Live load refers to the weight of all movable and non-permanent components of a building or structure, as well as any loads imposed on it by use or occupancy, such as people, furniture, or snow. Live loads can vary significantly and change over time. Examples of live loads include the weight of people in a building, the weight of vehicles on a bridge, and the weight of snow on a roof. Live loads are typically considered when designing a building or structure to ensure it can safely support the expected loads and that it is able to withstand the maximum expected load.
