A structure is statically determinate when the equilibrium
equations can be utilized to determine all the forces in the
structure.
A structure is statically indeterminate when there are more
unknown forces than available equilibrium equations. The
additional equations needed to solve for the unknown
reactions are obtained by relating the applied loads and
reactions to the displacement or slope at different points on
the structure. These equations, which are referred to as
compatibility equations, must equal the degree of
indeterminacy.
 Stability
Two situations of stability are also required to
maintain equilibrium by providing that members
are properly held or constrained by their supports.

• Partial Constraints – a structure having fewer reactive

forces than equations of equilibrium.
• Improper Constraints - a structure having reactions that
are concurrent at a point.
