Max Landing Weight Determination

Evening...

I'm interestd to find out how the maximum landing weight for light aircraft (eg: Cessna 182) is determined.

As a guess I would say the aircraft structure is required to withstand a certain rate of descent on touchdown, and then a factor is applied to that. But as I said it's a guess.

If anyone could give a brief explanation it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
