A static load is a load that is applied slowly to a structure and remains constant over time, leading to a steady state of forces acting on the structure. In contrast, a dynamic load varies with time and can change in magnitude or direction, such as moving vehicles or wind forces. The analysis of static loads typically assumes equilibrium, while dynamic loads require consideration of inertia and potential motion effects.
