Various types of loads on a structure
https://www.constructioncost.co/types-of-structural-load.html
Structures are exposed to loads, which are applied forces, deformations, or accelerations. A load results in the strain, deformation, and displacement of a structure. An engineering subject known as structural analysis makes an effort to predict how loads will impact structures and structural parts. When designing a structure, an excess load should be taken into account and regulated as it may result in structural failure.
