A methodology for the simplified calculation of statistically indeterminate systems is introduced. The calculation scheme of this system is simplified as much as possible. To determine the force parameters formulation of canonical equations or the execution of complex volumetric calculations is not required. The sequential steps for constructing internal force diagrams are minimized, without requiring a high level of engineering knowledge and experience. Justified approximats and principles are presented, reducing the complexity of the solution methodology. The obtained calculation results correspond accurately to other recognized methods of approximate solution for indeterminate beam systems.
