Determinacy & Stability

Determinacy: when all the forces in structure can be determined from equilibrium equation , the structure is referred to as statically determinate. Structure having more unknown forces than available equilibrium equations called statically indeterminate

If n is number of structure parts & r is number of unknown forces:

r = 3n, statically determinate r > 3n, statically indeterminate

Classify determinate & indeterminate structure

Improper ConstraintsThis can occur if all the support reactions are concurrent at a

point.

This can occur also when the reactive forces are all parallel

In Generalr < 3n, Then the structure is Unstable r >= 3n, Also, Unstable if member reactions

are concurrent or parallel or some of the components form a collapsible mechanism
