ABSTRACT
The paper is focused on the numerical analysis of the stability and load bearing capacity of
a flat steel truss. The structure is supported by elastic lateral braces. The translational and
rotational brace stiffness are taken into account. The linear buckling analysis is performed
for the beam and shell model of the truss. The nonlinear static analysis is conducted for the
structure initial geometric imperfections. As a result, the buckling and limit load depending
on brace stiffness has been obtained. The reactions in elastic braces are compared to
stabilizing forces calculated on the basis of actual code requirements.
