STATICALLY DETERMINATE STRUCTURE

If the structure can be analysed by use of the equation of equilibrium is known

as statically determinate structure. The equation of equilibrium is,
Sum of horizontal force is zero,
Sum of vertical force is zero,
Sum of the moment about any point is zero.

At (A) it is hinged support and at (B) it has roller support.

In the above beam, the reaction occurred at A is vertically upward and in
a horizontal direction. Because hinge support has two reactions. But the reaction
occurred at B is only one reaction which is vertically upward. in the above beam,
Totally three unknown reaction which is two reactions at support (A) and one
unknown reaction at (B). this beam can be analysed with the help of those three
equilibrium reaction.
If the number of unknown reactions is less than or equal to equilibrium
reaction i.e., three then the structure can be easily analysed. and this structure is
known as a statically determinant structure.
STATICALLY INDETERMINACY STRUCTURE

The structure which cannot be analysed by just using the equation of equilibrium
is known as a statically indeterminate structure.

Example of statically der

The above beam, it has two hinge support in which, (A) has two reactions
and (B) has also two reactions. The total unknown reaction is four which is
greater than the equilibrium equation which is only three. We cannot analyse this
structure. These types of structures are known as statically indeterminant
structures.
