Determinate structure Indeterminate structure 1. When all forces in a structure is determined from equilibrium equations, the structure is known as statically determinate. When the unknown forces in a structure are more than the available equilibrium equations, that structure is known as statically indeterminate structure. 2. Support will not develop...
S.No. Stiffness method Flexibility method 1 Stiffness method is used to study both statically determinate and indeterminate structures. It requires a different procedure to study both statically determinate and indeterminate structures. 2 This method yields displacements and forces directly. In this method, the displacements are not obtained directly, so it...
In civil engineering, the term “arch” refers to a structural element that is curved in shape and designed to carry loads primarily through compression. Arches have been used in construction for thousands of years and are known for their strength, stability, and aesthetic appeal. Arches are typically made of materials such...
