Static indeterminacy
Static indeterminacy is the excess of unknown actions
(generalized applied and reactional forces) as
compared to the number of equations static
equilibrium available. The number of excess of
unknown actions represents the degree of static
indeterminacy (or redundant).
q External indeterminacy occurs at the supports.
q Internal indeterminacy occurs in the members of
the structure.
a. Plane truss. Space truss
d = m + r - nj
where,
d = the degree of static indeterminacy,
m = no. of member,
r = no. of reaction,
j = no. of joint.
Plane truss n = 2, space truss n = 3.
(If d = 0 it is statically determinate)
d = 3m + r – 3j
