dead load

Can your roof support the extra dead load of the panels?

The pipeline would also be designed to withstand “earthquakes and other dynamic effects, dead loads and surges.”

In engineering parlance, it embodied little “dead load,” the static weight of immobile masses of brick and steel.

Unlike most inaugural flights--in which rockets carry only a dead load to minimize risk -- Vega's first launch will take nine satellites into orbit.

The roof was designed for a live load of 100 lb. and a dead load of 150 lb., the same as at the South Reservoir.
