This document contains problems from a Structural Analysis course at the University of Bahrain pertaining to statically determinate and indeterminate structures. Students are advised to solve problems classifying structures, determining reactions at supports, and calculating internal forces. Several multi-part structures are provided for analysis, requiring the determination of reactions, degrees of internal indeterminacy, and labeling of axial/shear/moment forces.
