    Statically indeterminate structures require additional relationships called compatibility conditions to determine their reactions and internal forces, beyond the equilibrium equations alone. These compatibility conditions ensure continuity of displacements and that parts fit together. Some advantages of indeterminate structures are smaller stresses, greater stiffness, and redundancies to redistribute loads if portions fail. However, disadvantages include stresses induced by support settlements, temperature changes, and fabrication errors, which do not affect determinate structures.

    INTRODUCTION TO

    STATICALLY INDETERMINATE
    STRUCTURES
    ENGR. KEVIN PAOLO V. ROBLES
    1.1 INTRODUCTION
    As discussed previously, the support reactions and internal forces of statically
    determinate structures can be determined from the equations of equilibrium
    (including equations of condition, if any). However, since indeterminate structures
    have more support reactions and/or members than required for static stability,
    the equilibrium equations alone are not sufficient for determining the reactions
    and internal forces of such structures, and must be supplemented by additional
    relationships based on the geometry of deformation of structures.

    These additional relationships, which are termed the compatibility conditions,


    ensure that the continuity of the displacements is maintained throughout the
    structure and that the structure’s various parts fit together.

    1.2 ADVANTAGES

    1. Smaller Stresses. The


    maximum stresses in
    statically indeterminate
    structures are generally
    lower than those in
    comparable determinate
    structures.

    2. Greater Stiffnesses
    Statically indeterminate
    structures generally have
    higher stiffnesses (i.e.,
    smaller deformations),
    than those of com-
    parable determinate
    structures.

    3. Redundancies. Statically indeterminate structures, if properly de- signed, have


    the capacity for redistributing loads when certain structural portions become
    overstressed or collapse in cases of overloads due to earthquakes, tornadoes,
    impact (e.g., gas explosions or vehicle impacts), and other such events.

    1.3 DISADVANTAGES
    1. Stresses Due to Support Settlements. Support settlements do not cause any
    stresses in determinate structures; they may, however, induce significant stresses
    in indeterminate structures, which should be taken into account when designing
    indeterminate structures.

    2. Stresses Due to Temperature
    Changes and Fabrication Errors.
    Like support settlements, these
    effects do not cause stresses in
    determinate structures but may
    induce significant stresses in
    indeterminate ones.
