Trucks, etc.
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!
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)

The dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. The live load is things like traffic, wind, rain, etc. The dynamic load are things like earthquakes, big gusts of wind, and other things.
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.
The weight-to-strength ratio of a bridge is determined by dividing its total weight (dead load) by its load-carrying capacity (strength). The dead load includes the weight of the bridge materials and any permanent fixtures, while the load-carrying capacity is typically derived from engineering analyses that account for factors such as material strength and structural design. A lower ratio indicates a more efficient design, as it suggests the bridge can support a greater load relative to its own weight. This ratio is crucial for assessing the overall performance and safety of the 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.
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.
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.
The best bridge design is a triangular bridge design look it up on wiki if u dont know
