63. EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY For any structure, supported on external supports, the total reaction components can be easily found. The stability of a structure depends on the number and arrangement ofthe reaction comporeats and comp component parts, rather than on the strength of the supports and parttoftie structure, jp Sect _tbseseection components are necessary for the extern stability of plane structures. This condition of three reaction components is_ necessary but not always sufficient. The arrangement of the three reaction components is very important from stability point of view. For example, if the lines of action oj the three components are concurrent, the structure is externally unstable because the point of concurrency becomes the instantaneous centre of rotation giving a critical configuration. Similarly, a struc- ture will also the unstable if the three reaction components have parallel lines of action, since the structure does not have any resis-- tance to horizontal motion. ail For a plane structure, three equations of static equilibrium are available. “In addition to this, extra condition equation may some- times be available by special features of construction, such as inter- nal pins or-links.
