A structure is defined as a system of connected parts used to support external loads without collapsing or excessive deformation. Structural analysis involves determining the stability and determinacy of a structure, where determinacy refers to whether a structure has a single set of member forces that can support the applied loads without any redundant or unstable elements.

BFC 21403 Structural Analysis Definition of Structure Structure: A system of connected/fabricated parts used to support a load acting on it.
Structure can also be defined as a part of
construction which has one or more element and subjected to various loads that it must resist without either collapsing or deforming excessively. Stability and Determinacy Determinacy
