Static loads can be:
Permanent: structural loads or dead loads. These are made up of all the structural and non-structural elements of a building – that is, their own weight.
Settlement: occurs when the weight of the structure causes the soil to sink under it. This can cause the differential settlement of the structure; that is, there is a difference between the support point of one part of the structure and another. These differences should be bridged by the foundations, and they shouldn’t cause any structural problems.
Accidental: those that derive from the use of the structure, as well as from the climatic conditions where it is located. Some of these are:
Live load.
Environmental loads related to the rain and snow (but not wind and seismic movements, which are considered dynamic loads.)
The deformation of structures under static loads reaches its zenith when the static force is at its maximum.
