STRUCTURE FRAMES-STATIC INDETERMINACY STABILITY To ensure the equilibrium of a structure or its members, it is not only to satisfy equation of equilibrium, but the members must also be properly held or constrained by their support. 1. Partial Constraint- fewer reactive reaction 2. Improper constraint- support reaction concurrent at point, Reactive forces are parallel. Unstable structure Note: In all cases unstable structure must be avoided in practice More Examples
