Dead loads include the weight of the bridge itself plus any other permanent object affixed to the bridge, such as toll booths, highway signs, guardrails, gates or a concrete road surface.
Live loads are temporary loads that act on a bridge, such as cars, trucks, trains or pedestrians.
Environmental loads are temporary loads that act on a bridge and that are due to weather or other environmental influences, such as wind from hurricanes, tornadoes or high gusts; snow; and earthquakes. Rainwater collecting might also be a factor if proper drainage is not provided.
How to calculate Loads
Dead Load + Live Load + Snow Load
Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load (or Earthquake Load)
Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load + (Snow Load ÷ 2)
Dead Load + Live Load + Snow Load + (Wind Load ÷ 2)
Dead Load + Live Load + Snow Load + Earthquake Load
