A dead load is the weight of the bridge or vehicle or building excluding the people or objects in it(An example is: If you were standing on a bridge all alone you would be the live load and the bridge itself would be the dead load)

A weight/load that does not move. For example, on a bridge, if there is a statue on the bridge, that would be considered a static load. A dynamic load is one that moves, such as cars passing over the bridge.
If you have a arch bridge it has formulas for the arch and how much weight a given bridge can support. The easiest way to think of this question is all the math a engineer would have to do in bullet Grus blueprint for a bridge.
It would depend on the type of bridge construction.

In engineering terms, dead load refers to the unchanging weight of a structure itself, plus any other load that may permanently be a part of the structure. On a bridge, for example, the main dead load would be the weight of bridge, and there would also be the weight of the abutments and perhaps a tollbooth.
a live load bridge is a truck or a weight that after the bridge is made then you put the weight on the bridge and see if it holds!
What are the basis of a bridge load limit?
The load of a bridge is the amount of weight that can be distributed throughout the bridge without collapsing. Engineers take into effect, wind, rain, and earthquakes when calculating the load.
They are used to support other elements of the structure as well as to divert the load to support columns which are usually based in the bed rock.
In bridge construction dead load, live load, and dynamic load must be considered. Dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. Live load is the moving weight on the bridge. Dynamic load comes from outside forces like wind and vibrations.
