Spanish term

vigas y celosías ISOSTÁTICAS

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Steel structures for buildings
Hi, I would really appreciate your help. This is a term from a Regulation on Seismic-resistant Buildings . I was thinking possibly isostatic but can't really find many references.

Context is:
"En los puntos de apoyos de las vigas y celosías se proporcionará un sistema de fijación para restringir la rotación con respecto a su eje longitudinal (torsión). Los arriostramientos y conexiones de las vigas que resisten momentos torsionales serán adecuados para transferir las reacciones a los apoyos. Especial consideración se dará a la conexión de secciones asimétricas tales como canales, ángulos y zetas."

Thanks a lot :)

statically determinate beams and trusses

"Isostatic" = "statically determinate" means that all support forces and internal stresses can be determined by equilibrium equations alone.
If this is not possible, the structure is called "hyperstatic" = "statically indeterminate".
