 Statically Indeterminate Beams

• A structural system which cannot be analysed

by using equations of static equilibrium (∑V=0,
∑H=0, ∑M =0) statically indeterminate beams

SI = 4-3 =1

• Statically Determinate beams:
Eg: SSB, Cantilever beams
• Statically Indeterminate beams:
Eg: Fixed beams, Continuous beams, Propped
cantilevers
