In what context?
In antennas it means putting the loading coil at the top end of a whip antenna. It doesn't gain you much over center loading and it makes it difficult to tune the antenna, which also has to be mechanically strong enough to support that coil. The coil is also very exposed to damage. Center loading is much more practical and works about as well.

In the loading of tankers or tank cars it is loading through to hatches in such a manner that it splashes onto the liquid below. Bottom loading is loading either through the bottom or through the top into a pipe that extends to near the bottom of the tanker. Bottom loading materially reduces static electricity generation, and has some effect on the amount of vapors produced.

Top loading (as per Dancing in the Moonlight) is allegedly rolling a a dodgy cigarrette and putting most of the active ingredientnearest to the lit end so that the manufacturer gets the most benefit before it is passed on ::===*=*** ' Alternatively it's putting your washing in the machine at the launderette.

Judging by the fact that you've asked this in engineering......
Top loading would be loading something at the top, rather than loading it towards the bottom. So if you had a tall column, and you loaded it near the top, it would create more of a bending moment than if you loaded it near the bottom.
