                                   Final Lab Report

Name:                                                                Period:



The truss designing experiment has come to an end and now it is time to determine how
efficient you are as civil engineers. We need to calculate the 1). Load Efficiency and 2).
Cost Efficiency to determine how successful we are with our project. Please complete
this worksheet by answering the following questions.

The efficiency of your bridge is calculated using:

                   % Efficiency=[(Maximum Load)/(Bridge Weight)]*100

The cost efficiency of your bridge is calculated determining which is higher, the initial
cost or the final cost (a=highest cost, b=lowest cost):

                              % Cost Efficiency =(a/b)*100
