Classification of structures using static stability criteria ¾ The structure is called a statically stable structure if and only if it can resist any actions (e.g. applied loads and kinematics conditions) without the development of mechanisms or rigid body displacement (e.g. rigid translation and rigid rotation). All desirable structures fall into this category, e.g. Fig1-Fig4. ¾ The structure is called a statically unstable structure if and only if it is not a statically stable structure or, in the other word, it is a structure that exhibits mechanisms or rigid body displacement (e.g. rigid translation and rigid rotation) for the entire structure or within any parts of the structure when subjected to a particular action, e.g. Fig5-Fig8.
The structure is called an externally, statically unstable structure if it is a statically unstable structure with the development of the mechanism on the entire structure, e.g. Fig5-Fig6.
The structure is called an internally, statically unstable structure if it is a statically unstable structure with the development of the mechanism only on certain parts of components of the structure, e.g. Fig7-Fig8.

Classification of structures using static indeterminacy criteria ¾ The statically stable structure is called an externally, statically determinate structure if and only if all reactions can be determined by using only static equilibrium equations, e.g. Fig9-Fig11. ¾
The statically stable structure is called a statically determinate structure if and only if all reactions and internal forces at any locations within the structure can be completely determined by using only static equilibrium equations, e.g. Fig9-Fig10. Note that all statically determinate structures are always externally, statically determinate structures.

¾ The statically stable structure is called a statically indeterminate structure if and only if it is not a statically determinate structure or, in the other word, static equilibrium equations are insufficient for determining reactions and/or internal member forces at any locations within the structure, e.g. Fig11-Fig13. ¾ The statically stable structure is called an internally, statically indeterminate structure if and only if it is statically indeterminate but externally, statically determinate, e.g. Fig11-Fig12. For this particular type of structures, all reactions can be determined from static equilibrium equations while the internal forces can not be completely obtained.

Degree of static indeterminacy (DI) and Definitions The degree of static indeterminacy is a number of static unknowns ( reactions and/or internal forces) that exceeds the number of independent equilibrium equations and static conditions available. The static conditions are additional equations associated with the prescribed static unknowns at certain locations within the structure; e.g. presence of the hinge at a particular point indicates that the bending moment at that point vanishes. The degree of static indeterminacy is also known as the degree of static redundancy. If the degree of static indeterminacy is equal to zero, the structure is statically determinate; if the degree of static indeterminacy is greater than zero, the structure is statically indeterminate. General Formula For a given statically stable structure, the degree of static indeterminacy, denoted by DI, can be determined from the general formula
DI = ra + nm – nj - nc where
ra
is the total number of components of the reactions
nm is the total number of internal member forces nj
is the total number of independent equilibrium equations
nc
is the total number of internal static conditions
Reactions ¾ Unknown reactions exerted to a structure by the s ¾ Total number of independent components of reactions depending on
Number of s Number of components of reactions at each .

Check of External Static Indeterminacy For a given statically stable structure, let ra be the number of all independent components of the reactions, net be the number of independent equilibrium equations available for the entire structure and ncr be the number of additional static conditions that can be set up without introducing new static unknowns. The structure is externally, statically determinate if an only if
ra = net + ncr and the structure is externally, statically indeterminate if an only if
ra > net + ncr This check of external static indeterminacy is essential when the reactions of the structure are to be determined. Remarks: ¾ The number of independent components of reactions ra can be readily obtained in the same manner as described above. ¾ In general, for planar structures, the number of independent equilibrium equations that can be set up for the entire structure net is equal to three, i.e. net = 3, except for beam structures (that there is no axial force present in all ) where the number of independent equilibrium equations reduces to 2, i.e. net = 2 (the equilibrium of forces in the direction along the beam axis is automatically satisfied).

¾ Additional static conditions are typically the conditions associated with internal releases present within the structure; for instance, points where components of internal forces are prescribed such as “hinge”, “shear release”, and “axial release”. It is important to note that not all the static conditions can be included in the counting of ncr but ones that introduce no additional unknowns other than the reactions can be included. These additional equations can be set up in of equilibrium equations of certain parts of the structure resulting from proper sectioning the structure at the internal releases. - For this structure, we obtain - ra = 2(2) = 4 - 6 frame Æ nm = 6(3) = 18 - 6 frame ts Æ nj = 6(3) = 18 - 2 hinges Æ nc = 2 - DI = 4 + 18 – 18 – 2 = 2 - Structure is statically indeterminate - net = 3 (3 equilibrium equations) Not included in ncr - ncr = 1 - ra = net + ncr = 4 - Structure is externally statically determinate - All reactions can be determined Truss Structure A truss structure is a structure that consists of only axial being connected by pinned or hinge ts. All loads are assumed to be applied directly to the ts. For a given statically stable truss structure that consists of j hinge ts and m axial , we obtain nm = m nj = 2j nc = 0 and, therefore, the degree of static indeterminacy of the truss is given by
DI = ra + m – 2j Remark: There is no internal release at interior points of all axial since each member possesses only one component of internal forces; presence of the (axial) internal release will render the structure statically unstable.
