In bridge design, both dead load and live load must be considered.
建物の死荷重は、主に柱や梁の重さからなる。
The dead load of a building mainly consists of the weight of columns and beams.
静荷重 (static load) is a load that does not change over time; 死荷重 is a type of static load, but the terms are not fully interchangeable.
Compound of 死 (dead, fixed) and 荷重 (load). A direct calque of the English engineering term 'dead load'.
