In this paper Monte Carlo simulations of structural glass columns are presented. The simulation was performed according to the analytical second order theory of compressed elastic rods. A previous research on shape and size of initial geometrical imperfections is briefly summarized. An experimental analysis of glass columns that were performed for evaluation of equivalent geometrical imperfections is mentioned too.
