The paper discusses the reliability assessment of simple random truss structures using three different probabilistic methodologies: the Monte Carlo method, the Point Estimate Method and the Response Surface Method. A benchmark truss structure example is analyzed. A set of numerical calculations of critical load is performed and the results are taken as the basis of advanced probabilistic calculations. Using the samples, numerical efficiency and accuracy of these methods are compared. A discussion is proposed to point out the advantages and drawbacks of PEM and RSM in comparison to MC method.
