Wikipedia
live load
A structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.

live load
A live load refers to the weight or force exerted by people, furniture, snow, wind, or other temporary external factors on a structure. Unlike a dead load (the weight of the building itself), live loads can vary over time depending on usage or environmental conditions. Engineering designs for buildings, bridges, and other structures must account for potential live loads to ensure safety and durability.
