The present paper is devoted to the numerical research of stability of a truss loaded by wind and stiffened by elastic supports located at the top chord. The lateral braces or lateral and torsional braces were taken into account. In this paper, the linear buckling analysis re- sults for the beam and shell model were presented. Two different shapes of initial geometric imperfections were considered in the non-linear static analysis performed for the shell model of the structure. As a result, the truss buckling and the limit load were found to be related to the truss bracing stiffness and the threshold bracing condition, necessary to provide maximum buckling resistance of the truss, was obtained.
