M+R 2j. Indeterminate Structure Degree of Static Indeterminacy I m+r-2j

The document discusses determining whether a truss structure is determinate, indeterminate, or unstable based on the number of members (m), supports (r), and joints (j). It provides examples of trusses that are internally unstable and statically indeterminate based on whether m+r is less than, equal to, or greater than 2j. It also calculates the degree of static indeterminacy for one example as m+r-2j.

Q1:

m+r<2j ➯ Internally unstable

m+r=2j. ➯ Determinate structure

m+r> 2j. ➯ Indeterminate structure

Degree of static indeterminacy I= m+r-2j


number of members,m= 8

Number of support reaction,r= 3

Number of joints,j= 6

From this m+r=11

2j= 12

m+r<2j that is truss is internally unstable


m= 7 r= 4 (both end pinned). j= 5

m+r= 11. 2j= 10

m+r>2j there truss is statically indeterminate

Degree of indeterminacy = m+r-2j= 7+4-(2*5) = 1
