load; loading; weight of a load
Technical term used in engineering, physics, and logistics for the weight or force applied to a structure or vehicle.
この橋は最大荷重が10トンです。
This bridge has a maximum load of 10 tons.
A large load is constantly applied to this bridge.
荷重試験の結果を報告してください。
Please report the results of the load test.
This pillar supports the load of the entire building.
This material can withstand a high load.
It's necessary to calculate the structure's load before design.
重量 refers to the actual weight of an object, while 荷重 refers to the force or load exerted on a structure or support, which may exceed simple weight (e.g. dynamic forces).
加重 (same reading as 荷重) means 'weighted' or 'aggravated' (as in 加重平均, weighted average), an unrelated concept easily confused with 荷重's meaning of a physical load.
過重 (also read かじゅう) means 'excessive' or 'overburdened' (as in 過重労働, excessive workload), whereas 荷重 is the neutral engineering term for a load or force.
Written the same as 荷重（におも）but read かじゅう, this is the technical engineering term for a load or force applied to a structure, while におも is the more general word for a heavy load or burden.
full load; total load
dead load; static load; dead weight
live load; liveload
load-bearing capacity; weight capacity
dead load; static load
Compound of 荷 (か, 'cargo, burden') and 重 (じゅう, 'weight, heavy'). The reading じゅう is the on'yomi of 重, forming a Sino-Japanese technical term.
power loading; weight per horsepower
