Abstract
Since in statically indeterminate structures more than one distribution of internal forces, which fulfils equilibrium is possible, further criteria are possibly necessary in design to guarantee a satisfactory structural behavior at working load. To explain this observation, the behavior of a statically indeterminate structure is considered. Elastic and plastic design methods are compared. Then the behavior at working load of an elastically designed structure is compared to that of a plastically designed structure. From these investigations criteria are obtained for the choice of suitable stress fields.
