Intro To Structure 2

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.

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.
