Statically indeterminate structures are those in which the static equilibrium equations (the conditions for forces and moments to balance) are not sufficient to determine all the internal forces and reactions. In other words, there are more unknowns than available equations from static analysis. In structural engineering and mechanics, a structure is considered statically indeterminate when it has redundant supports or members that do not allow for the complete determination of internal forces and reactions using just the equations of equilibrium (i.e.
