The paper discusses reliability assessment of simple random truss structures using three different probabilistic methodologies: the Monte Carlo Method (MCM), the Point Estimate Method (PEM) and the Response Surface Method (RSM). A benchmark truss structure and a simplified full–size engineering tower are both analyzed. A set of ultimate load numerical calculations 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 and the advantages and drawbacks of PEM and RSM in relation to MC are discussed.
