Static Indeterminacy
Idealized structures of interest
Consider planar (2D) structures consisting of 1D structural components or members and subjected to in-plane loadings
Truss structures (Fig1)

Classification of structures using static stability criteria
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.
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
The statically stable structure is called an externally, statically determinate
structure if and only if all support reactions can be determined by using only static equilibrium equations, e.g. Fig9-Fig11.
The statically stable structure is called a statically determinate structure if and
only if all support 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.
Fig9. Fig10. Fig11.
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 support reactions and/or internal member forces at any locations within the structure, e.g. Fig11-Fig13.
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 support reactions can be determined from static equilibrium equations while the internal forces can not be completely obtained.

Degree of static indeterminacy (DI)
Terms and Definitions
The degree of static indeterminacy is a number of static unknowns (support 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 support 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
Support Reactions
Unknown reactions exerted to a structure by the supports
Total number of independent components of support reactions depending on
Number of supports Number of components of support reactions at each support.
Types of supports
2101-310 Structural Analysis I 1 - 19
Roller support 1 direction of translational constraint 1 component of support reactions in the direction of constraint
Pinned support 2 directions of translational constraint 2 components of support reactions in the directions of constraint
Fixed support 2 directions of translational constraint 1 direction of rotational constraint 3 components of support reactions in the directions of constraint
Guide support 1 direction of translational constraint 1 direction of rotational constraint 2 components of support reactions in the directions of constraint
Nonrotational support 1 direction of rotational constraint 1 component of support reactions in the directions of constraint

Example 1: Find the total number of components of support reactions (Ns) of the structures shown in Fig1-Fig4.
Truss structure shown in Fig1. 1 roller support 2 pinned supports
ra = 1(1) + 2(2) = 5
Beam structure shown in Fig2. 3 roller supports 1 fixed support
ra = 3(1) + 1(2) = 5
Frame structure shown in Fig3. 1 roller support 1 pinned support 3 fixed supports
ra = 1(1) + 1(2) + 3(3) = 12
2101-310 Structural Analysis I 1 - 21
Compound structure shown in Fig4. 1 roller support 1 guide support 1 fixed support
ra = 1(1) + 1(2) + 1(3) = 6
Remark: For beam structures, there is no longitudinal loading and therefore the number of support reactions for pinned and fixed supports reduce by one.

Axial force (F) Bending moment (M) Shear force (V) Torque (T)

Internal static conditions or Internal Releases
Static quantities (e.g. internal forces) are prescribed at interior points of the structure
Additional equations to static equilibrium equations are introduced
Such points are called internal releases
Types of internal static conditions
Bending moment release
Bending moment is prescribed at a point, i.e. M = Mo For special case, if M = 0, it is known as a “hinge” Rotation at hinge point is generally discontinuous 1 additional equation is provided
1 additional equation
Shear force release
Shear force is prescribed at a point, i.e. V = Vo For special case, if V = 0, it is known as a “shear release” Transverse displacement at shear release is generally
discontinuous 1 additional equation is provided
1 additional equation
2101-310 Structural Analysis I 1 - 25
Axial force release
Axial force is prescribed at a point, i.e. F = Fo For special case, if F = 0, it is known as an “axial release” Longitudinal displacement at axial release is generally
discontinuous 1 additional equation is provided
1 additional equation
Combined internal release
Internal releases shown above are combined Additional equations are provided depending on the
number of released components 2 additional equations
Full moment release at joint
“Hinge” is present at the joint and it is called “hinge joint” No transferring of bending moment at this joint “Hinge joint” cannot be subjected to applied moment For truss structures, all joints are always hinge joint and no
additional equation is provided for each joint since presence of such joints has been incorporated into the reduction of the number of internal forces per member to one (i.e. only axial force is present)
For beam, frame and compound structures, n-1 additional equations are provided per hinge joint where n is the number of members joining at that joint.
4-1 = 3 additional equations
Partial moment release at joint
Bending moment is released at the end of certain members joining the joint
Transferring of bending moment at this joint is still possible by the joining members with no end moment release.
This joint can be subjected to applied moment This type of release can be found in frame and compound
structures n additional equations are provided per joint where n is the
number of members whose end moment is released excluding the truss members.

Example 2: Find the degree of static indeterminacy of the structures shown in Fig1-Fig4.
Truss structure shown in Fig1
ra = 1(1) + 2(2) = 5 33 truss members nm = 33(1) = 33 18 hinge joints nj = 18(2) = 36 No internal release nc = 0 DI = ra +nm –nj –nc = 5 +33 –36 –0 = 2 Structure is statically indeterminate

Frame structure shown in Fig3
ra = 1(1) + 1(2) + 3(3) = 12 28 frame members nm = 28(3) = 84 21 frame joints nj = 21(3) = 63 No internal release nc = 0 DI = ra +nm –nj –nc = 12 +84 –63 –0 = 33 Structure is statically indeterminate
Compound structure shown in Fig4
ra = 2(1) + 1(1) + 3(1) = 6
2101-310 Structural Analysis I 1 - 27
17 truss members + 3 frame members nm = 17(1) + 3(3) = 26 8 hinge joints + 3 frame joints + 2 compound joints nj = 8(2) + 3(3) + 3(2) = 31 No internal release nc = 0 DI = ra +nm –nj –nc = 6 +26 –31 –0 = 1 Structure is statically indeterminate Note that although bending moment is fully released at the two compound joints,
there is only one frame member joining those joints; therefore, number of additional equations at each compound joint = 1 – 1 = 0.
Check of External Static Indeterminacy
Compound joints
For a given statically stable structure, let ra be the number of all independent components of the support 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 support reactions of the structure are to be determined. Remarks:
The number of independent components of support reactions ra can be
readily obtained in the same manner as described above.
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 members) 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).
2101-310 Structural Analysis I 1 - 28
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 support reactions can be included. These additional equations can be set up in terms 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 members nm = 6(3) = 18 - 6 frame joints nj = 6(3) = 18 - 2 hinges nc = 2 - DI = 4 + 18 – 18 – 2 = 2 - Structure is statically indeterminate - net = 3 (3 equilibrium equations) - ncr = 1 - ra = net + ncr = 4 - Structure is externally statically determinate - All support reactions can be determined
Not included in ncr
Truss Structure
A truss structure is a structure that consists of only axial members being connected by pinned or hinge joints. All loads are assumed to be applied directly to the joints. For a given statically stable truss structure that consists of j hinge joints and m axial members, 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 members since each member possesses only one component of internal forces; presence of the (axial) internal release will render the structure statically unstable.
