The load which has a negligible variation with time and in space is referred to as the dead load. In structures, the weight of the structural elements i.e. weight of the beams, columns, slabs is considered as dead load.
This is different from the weight of the non-structural elements like the cladding, finishes, ceiling etc. which is accounted as superimposed dead load (SIDL). The SIDL is considered to have a little more variation in its magnitude over time as compared to the dead loads.
As per the Indian codes, there is no such demarcation between the dead loads and superimposed dead loads but many international design practices recognize this difference.
