Statically Indeterminate Structures
• Statically determinate – all unknown reactions (forces,
moments) can be determined using equilibrium
equations.
– In 2-D problems, we have 3 equilibrium equations, and therefore
can determine three unknown reactions
– In 3-D problems, we have 6 equilibrium equations, and therefore
can determine six unknown reactions
• Statically indeterminate – the number of equations <
the number of unknown reactions
– We need other conditions to solve the problem from deformation
relationship?

Solution
From equilibrium,
RA RB
The total axial deformation of the entire member equals zero, as both
ends are restrained.
EG1109 Statics and Mechanics of Materials 20
Use principle of superposition (applicable to linear-elastic systems only)
The total deformation of the entire member equals the summation of the
elongation (δL) caused by the applied loading and the shortening (δR) by
the reaction force RB, as illustrated above.
