 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
Classify determinate & indeterminate structure

• Stability
Partial Constraints

Fx  0 will not be satisfied  unstable with this loading case

• Improper Constraints
This can occur if all the support reactions are concurrent at a point.

Pd  0
• This can occur also when the reactive forces are all parallel

In General
r < 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
Classify The structure Stable or Unstable

 Application of Equation of Equilibrium
Procedure steps

1. If not given, establish a suitable x - y coordinate system.

2. Draw a free body diagram (FBD) of the object under analysis.

3. Apply the three equations of equilibrium to solve for the

unknowns.
