Calculation Formula

Efficiency = (Actual Capacity / Ideal Capacity) * 100%

Where:
Actual Capacity is the maximum load the truss can carry.
Ideal Capacity is the maximum load the truss would carry if it were perfectly efficient.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the actual load-carrying capacity of the truss in kilonewtons (kN).
  2. Enter the ideal load-carrying capacity of the truss in kilonewtons (kN).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the truss efficiency.
  4. The efficiency percentage will be displayed in the results section.

Understanding Truss Efficiency

Truss efficiency is a measure of how effectively a truss structure can carry a load compared to an ideal truss. It is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing the actual load-carrying capacity by the ideal load-carrying capacity and multiplying by 100.

The higher the efficiency percentage, the more effectively the truss is designed to carry loads. Efficiency can be affected by various factors such as material strength, design, and construction quality.
