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, i.e., it remains in static or dynamic equilibrium; it is important to determine 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).

The number of external reactions is often the simplest means to determine the stability of a structure.
They must be greater than the number of equations available for the structure to remain in static
equilibrium. The number of equations for two-dimensional (planar) structures (e.g., 2D trusses and 2D
frames) is three (i.e., Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Mz = 0), while it is six (i.e., Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Fz = 0, Mx
= 0, My = 0, Mz = 0) for three-dimensional (non-coplanar) structures (e.g., 3D trusses and 3D
frames).

The number of equations of static equilibrium may be increased for structures with internal hinges (h),
each providing an additional equation for BM = 0. Therefore stability requires the number of
equations to be greater than (The number of equations of statics + h); e.g., (3 + h) for 2D frames and
(6 + h) for 3D frames. This condition is not applicable for trusses though, because truss members are
axially loaded only and have no bending moment.

However, structures can be unstable despite having adequate number of external reactions; i.e., they
can be internally unstable. In general, the static stability of a structure depends on the number of
unknown forces and the equations of statics available to determine these forces. This requires
* The number of structural members = m, e.g., each having one unknown (axial force) for trusses,
three (axial force, shear force, bending moment) for 2D frames and six (axial force, two shear
forces, torsional moment, two bending moments) for 3D frames
* The number of external reactions = r
* The number of joints = j, e.g., each having two equations of equilibrium for 2D trusses (Fx = 0,
Fy = 0), three for 2D frames (Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Mz = 0), three for 3D trusses (Fx = 0, Fy = 0,
Fz = 0) and six for 3D frames (Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Fz = 0, Mx = 0, My = 0, Mz = 0).

Eventually, the term ‘Degree of Statical Indeterminacy (dosi)’ is used to denote the difference
between the available equations of static equilibrium and the number of unknown forces. The
structure is classified as statically unstable, determinate or indeterminate depending on whether dosi is
 0, = 0 or  0. Table 1 shows the conditions of static stability and determinacy of 2D and 3D trusses
and frames.
