Dynamic Load The "load" is the total force and weight that a structure such as a bridge is designed to withstand. For a bridge, the total load includes the "dynamic" loads of traffic, people, wind, snow, and ice and the "static" load of the bridge's own weight.

What is the live of load of a bridge?

The weight of the stuff on the structure is called the live load. Things that move in or on a structure, like people and cars, are examples of live load. A live load causes compression on the bridge deck. If you apply too much weight, the beam will fail because it can't support the heavy weight of the live load above it. To strengthen it, thicker beams are used. Then, it is less likely to bend. Thick beams are used in structures that experience live and dynamic loads.
