Structural Stability and Determinacy

1 Structural Stability and Determinacy Stability is an essential precondition for a structure to be able to carry the loads it is subjected to, and therefore being suitable for Structural analysis. Since Structural analysis is based on solving the unknown forces (or displacements) within a structure using some equations, it is essentially the comparison of the equations and unknowns that determine the Stability of a Structural system. Statical Determinacy of a structure is a concept closely related to its Stability . Once a structure is determined to be stable, it is important to determine whether it remains in equilibrium; , if it can be analyzed by the concepts of statics alone, particularly for hand calculation. Although this information is not essential in the context of computer-based Structural analysis, there are important differences between structures that are solvable by statics alone and those requiring additional information (usually from kinematics).
