    This document discusses the stability of structures. It states that a stable structure remains stable under any system of loads, without consideration of load type, number, or application point. It checks for internal and external stability, then checks total indeterminacy if stability criteria are met. It also notes that stability must be checked before determining if a structure is determinate or indeterminate.

    CE 311 Structural Theory

    August ,2020

    Stable Structure
    A stable structure is the one which remains stable for any imaginable
    system of loads.
    Therefore, we do not consider the type of loads, their numbers and their point of
    applications to decide whether the structure is stable or not. Normally internal and
    external stability of the structure is checked. If it meets the criteria of stability then the
    structure is checked for the total degree of indeterminacy.

    Stability of structures
    Before we check the determinacy of structures, it is necessary that it should be stable
    first. The question whether it is determinate or indeterminate comes next.
