The present paper is devoted to the numerical investigations of stability of a truss under upward wind load. The truss is braced at its the upper cord. A structural variant including lateral braces, or lateral and torsional braces is considered. The research presents the problems of linear buckling and non-linear static analysis of the truss shell and beam model with geometric and material non-linearity are presented. The initial imperfections were assumed in the form of arch curvature of the compressed bottom chord due to EC3 requirements. As a results the truss buckling and limit load were found related to the truss bracing stiffness. The threshold bracing condition was obtained necessary to provide maximum buckling resistance of the truss.
