I'm not an aviation expert, but I'm going to try attack this with a simplified physics example though I just may end up looking like an idiot since both areas aren't my strongest points.
Say you are driving a car with 1 person in it and you go over a bump. The car is going to bounce and the structure of the car is going to be under a lot more stress from the increased 'up and down' motion from the car frame bouncing. Now consider the same car and load it up with 10 people. Going over the bump is going to result in almost no bounce and the cars frame won't be effected from the stress of the car bouncing up and down. I imagine a plane in the air follows the same basic principles. A heavy plane isn't going to be effected by turbulent air as much as a light plane. Thus since the heavier plane isn't being tossed around in the air as much, the airframe isn't being subjected to such a high level of overall stress. How ya doing, buddy?
