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!
Trucks, etc.
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.
Live loads: These are temporary loads due to the weight of vehicles, pedestrians, or movable objects on the bridge. Dead loads: These are permanent loads caused by the weight of the bridge structure itself, such as the deck, beams, and other components. Wind loads: These are lateral forces exerted on the bridge due to wind, which can have a significant impact on the structural stability 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.
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.
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.
