A statically indeterminate structure has more redundancies and can redistribute the internal forces when parts of the structure experience damage or failure. This redistribution capacity makes such structures more resilient and better at withstanding dynamic loads like those caused by earthquakes.
- Statically determinate structures are less flexible in redistributing loads when subjected to unexpected forces or moments, and any failure in one element may lead to catastrophic collapse.
- In contrast, statically indeterminate structures have multiple load paths, which helps them handle varying forces more effectively, especially in an earthquake where dynamic and unexpected forces act on the structure.
Therefore, statically indeterminate structures tend to perform better during an earthquake.
