Article proposes a comprehensive approach to the formation of the program sequence surveys of industrial buildings equipped with overhead cranes. Authors formalized synthesis algorithm that reveals the concept essence of the probabilistic method application to the study of changes in the stress-strain state of the industrial building frame during its operation taking into account the variability impacts. The calculation of the reliability and durability is based on the method of limiting states. The implementation of this method makes it possible to take into account the random nature of not only the combination of existing loads, but also the strength properties of building materials by constructing a system of safety factors.

This study investigated optimum design methods for frame buildings with focus on minimization of economic costs. The methods discussed are intended to provide sufficient reserves for reliability of load-bearing steel structures. The analyzed mathematical models enable to assess seismic resistance of a structure and implement optimum design methods according to the selected key criterion. The available mathematical models assessing economic efficiency of metalwork reinforcement need further development. The model based on the principle of balanced risk is considered as the most appropriate for the study of structural reliability for industrial buildings. This model allows to assess the expected damage as compared with the initial spending on seismic protection. The focus is on setting and implementation of the task whose limiting condition provides equality between expenditures for reinforcement of damaged steel structures and those for damage prevention activities. Minimum of economic costs for construction or reconstruction of a structure is taken as the optimality criterion. This takes into account accumulation of damages within the standard life cycle and changes in stiffness of materials. Assessment of damage risk is based on the life cycle of a structure, its seismic resistance class and spending on damage repair. The study suggests a number of structural solutions that enable to reduce deformation of steel parts of the frame.

Due to the unique water regime of the Astrakhan region, characterized by an uneven distribution of runoff that is directly dependent on the discharge from the Volgograd hydroelectric power station, coastal zones of water bodies are subject to intense negative effects. It is established that, despite the existing variety of ways to protect coasts from erosion, the search for new technical solutions at the moment continues to be an urgent task in hydraulic construction. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the application of a new methodology for studying the destruction of coastal zones and the method of shore protection. The article discusses the features of work on shore protection of territories subject to slope processes. The role of studies of the leading processes of destruction of coastal zones in the course of engineering and geological surveys, to predict and prevent risk, as well as to ensure the information content of further work on the construction of reliable shore protection, is emphasized. The result of the study was a new method for identifying the destroyed coastal zones, technologies for surface and deep fixing of the Bank slopes, and a method for preventing the collapse of steep river banks. In this paper, a positive assessment of the investigated method of Bank protection was given. Research has shown that prevention of emergency situations, especially in urbanized areas subject to intense anthropogenic impact, is possible only with the construction of engineering protection structures that have a positive effect in both protective and environmental aspects.
