Calculation Formula

Efficiency (η) = (Load Capacity / (Material Strength × Span Length)) × 100%

Where:
η = Efficiency of the bridge
Load Capacity = Total load the bridge can support
Material Strength = Strength of the material used in the bridge
Span Length = Length of the bridge span

How to Use the Bridge Efficiency Calculator

  1. Enter the load capacity of the bridge in kilonewtons (kN).
  2. Input the span length of the bridge in meters (m).
  3. Provide the material strength of the bridge in megapascals (MPa).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the efficiency.
  5. The efficiency percentage will be displayed in the results section.

Understanding Bridge Efficiency

Bridge efficiency is a measure of how effectively a bridge can support loads relative to its material properties and span length. A higher efficiency percentage indicates a more efficient and cost-effective bridge design.

Example Calculation

If a bridge has a load capacity of 500 kN, a span length of 100 m, and is made of material with a strength of 50 MPa, the efficiency would be calculated as follows:

Efficiency = (500 kN / (50 MPa × 100 m)) × 100% = 10%
