The formula to calculate the Truss Efficiency is:
\[ Etruss = \frac{WS}{WT} \times 100 \]
Where:
Truss efficiency is a measure of how effectively a truss structure supports weight relative to its own weight. It is calculated by dividing the weight supported by the truss by the weight of the truss itself, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. Higher truss efficiency indicates a more efficient design, capable of supporting more weight with less material.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ Etruss = \frac{500}{50} \times 100 = 1000\% \]
The Truss Efficiency is 1000%.
