What is the total, external and internal indeterminacy of the structure shown below?
What is the total, external and internal indeterminacy of the structure shown below? Correct Answer Total 1; External 2; Internal (-1)
External indeterminacy (Dse) = R – r
Where,
R = Number of external reactions
r = Number of static equilibrium equations available
As shown in the figure below,

R = 5 and r = 3 (ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0, ΣMz = 0).
Ds = 5 – 3 = 2
Internal indeterminacy (Dsi) = 3C - rr
Where, C = Number of closed loops = 0, rr = Number of reactions released at a hybrid joint = m – 1
m = Number of members meeting at a joint = 2
rr = 2 – 1 = 1
Dsi = 0 – 1 = -1
Total static indeterminacy = External indeterminacy + internal indeterminacy
Ds = 2 + (-1) = 1
