suresh Explanation of Statically Determinate and Statically Indeterminate Structures
Statically determinate structures are those in which the reactions and internal forces can be determined using equilibrium equations alone. These structures have a clear and unique solution for all the internal forces and reactions.
On the other hand, statically indeterminate structures are those that require additional information beyond equilibrium equations to determine all the internal forces and reactions. These structures have redundant supports or members, making it impossible to solve the system using equilibrium equations alone.
Understanding the difference between statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures is crucial for structural engineers as it affects the design and analysis of various building and bridge structures.
