  The degree of static indeterminacy and its spatial distribution characterize
load-bearing structures independent of a specific load case. The redundancy
matrix stores the distribution of the static indeterminacy on its main
diagonal, and thereby offers the possibility to use this property for the
assessment of structures. It is especially suitable to be used in early
planning stages for design exploration. In this paper, performance indicators
with respect to robustness and assemblability are derived from the redundancy
matrix. For each of the performance indicators, a detailed matrix-based
derivation is given and the application is showcased with various truss
examples.
