Introduction
Structure is an element or combination of elements jointed together to carry a given loads
and to transmit these loads to supporting elements. The loads and the reactions of the
supports must be in equilibrium so that the structure can perform this task (Stable Structure).
Structural analysis deals with the calculations of the distribution of internal forces and
stresses in any element of the structure.

❖ Equation of Equilibrium
(a) Plane Structure (Plane Analysis): 3 Equations; ∑X=0, ∑Y=0 & ∑M=0
Summation of forces in any two perpendicular directions should be equal to zero, and
summation of moment about any point in the plane should be equal to zero.
Plane Structure: the whole structure and all the applied loads are at the same plane.
(b) Space Structure (Space Analysis): 6 Equations; ∑X=0, ∑Y=0, ∑Z=0,
∑M @ x=0, ∑M @ y=0 & ∑M @ z=0
❖ Determinacy & Stability
Number of Equations › Number of Unknowns ↔ Unstable Structure
Number of Equations = Number of Unknowns ↔ Statically Determinate Structure
Number of Equations ‹ Number of Unknowns ↔ Statically Indeterminate Structure
No. of Eq. = 3 (∑X=0, ∑Y=0 & ∑M=0 ) + one or more Eq. for each Intermediate Hinge (IH)
No. of Unk. = No. of Reactions (Externally) + 3 Unk. for each Closed Frame (Internally)
