The paper presents a proposal for the assessment of the reliability of statically determinate steel truss in the persistent and accidental (fire) design situation. The steel truss was modelled as series system from the reliability standpoint. The global Hasofer-Lind reliability index was employed, computed in successive time steps for the whole structure, not for individual elements. Fire analysis was carried out according to three different time-temperature curves-standard, hydrocarbon and external. Monitoring the reliability index in the successive minutes of the fire makes it possible to estimate the probability of the structure failure, and to decide whether the required safety level is maintained.
