A structure is statically determinate when the equilibrium equations can be utilized to determine all the forces in the structure. A structure is statically indeterminate when there are more unknown forces than available equilibrium equations. The additional equations needed to solve for the unknown reactions are obtained by relating the applied loads and reactions to the displacement or slope at different points on the structure. These equations, which are referred to as compatibility equations, must equal the degree of indeterminacy.

Stability
Two situations of stability are also required to maintain equilibrium by providing that members are properly held or constrained by their supports. Partial Constraints a structure having fewer reactive forces than equations of equilibrium.
Improper Constraints - a structure having reactions that are concurrent at a point.
