 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

n
• If is number of structure parts & r is number of
unknown forces:
r = 3n, statically determinate
r > 3n, statically indeterminate

 Force Method: General Procedure
1. Determine the number of redundant reactions
2. Remove enough redundants to form a determinate
structure
3. Calculate the displacements that the known loads cause
in the determinate structure
4. Calculate displacements at the same points in the
determinate structure due to the redundants
5. The sum of the displacements calculated in steps (3) and
(4) must be equal to the displacements at the actual
indeterminate structure
6. Use equilibrium to determine the remaining reactions
