Abstract: This paper deals with the use of probabilistic methods in assessing the reliability of the planar truss support structure. Classical Monte Carlo simulation technique was chosen for calculation of failure probability in structural elements and the entire support system under assessment. Numerical calculation was applied in MATLAB software system using the random number generator and parallelization using multi-core processors. The aim of the study was to analyze the usability of MATLAB for probability calculations and probabilistic reliability assessments of load-bearing structures.
