Question 1

What defines a statically determinate structure?

  • All reactions can be calculated using static equations
  • More reactions than equations
  • Requires compatibility analysis

💡 Hint: Focus on the essence of static determinacy.

Question 2

True or False: A structure is statically indeterminate if the number of unknown reactions exceeds the number of equilibrium equations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the definitions for clarity.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a structure consisting of three beams arranged in a triangular truss and calculate the necessary forces, ensuring to illustrate how indeterminate forces are calculated.

💡 Hint: Start with a free-body diagram and apply static equilibrium to each beam.

Question 2

Analyze a frame supported by four columns and experiencing three loads applied on different beams. Determine the internal forces in all members and commentary on its static determinacy.

💡 Hint: Visualize each load’s impact and how it can create tension or compression in the structure.
