ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the system reliability analysis of steel trusses (plane and spatial).
The computations are realized by the use of a developed by the author C++ code. The
following loads are taken into account: self-weight, weight of coverings, wind and snow. The
limit state function is defined as a difference between the bearing capacity and the effect of
action of an element. The paper presents how effective tool is the system reliability analysis
compared with traditional structural design methods. The methods of transforming Gumbel
distribution into normal and generating random variables are described.
