This paper concerns the system reliability analysis of steel truss towers. Due to failures of towers, the assessment of their reliability seems to be a very important problem. In the analysis, two cases are examined: when the buckling coefficient is a deterministic value and when it is a random variable. The impact of failures of single elements on the structure reliability was investigated. Calculations of the standard deviation of the capacity and reliability indexes were made using author-developed programs in the Mathematica environment.
