The degree of static indeterminacy NS and the degree of kinematic indeterminacy, NK for the plane frame as shown neglecting axial deformation are given by Correct Answer N<span style="position: relative; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em;font-size:10.5px;">S</span> = 4, N<span style="position: relative; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em;font-size:10.5px;">K </span>= 6

Concepts:

The kinematic indeterminacy is given as

 D= 3j-r-m

j = no of joints

r = no of support reactions

m = no of axially rigid members 

Degree of Static Indeterminacy (Ds):

 Ds = 3×C – R

C = No of cuts required to make stable cantilever frame 

R= No of releases

Kinematic Indeterminacy:

No of Joints, j = 6

No of support reactions, r = 7 ( 3 at support A, 2 at each support D and F)

No fo axially rigid members, m = 5

D= 3j-r-m

Dk = 3 × 6 – 7 – 5

∴ Dk = 6

Static Indeterminacy

 No of cuts = 2

Releases

Moment releases at joint D = 1

Moment releases at joint F = 1

Total Releases, R = 2  

Dsi = 3 × 2 – 2 = 4

Static Indeterminacy, D­s = 4
