This article describes the scientific model information database of defects and irregularities identified in the organization of work in monolithic construction. Monolithic construction is a production system that consists of a number of random events. For each event a significant number of random factors are affected. The author examines and analyzes the characteristics of the technical failures that affect the organizational and technological reliability of building. Use of information technology makes it possible to calculate various indicators of operational efficiency of the process of detection and elimination of defects and failures of the production system. An important criterion in the process of sustainable development is the organizational and technological reliability (OTR), which describes the capabilities of the system to achieve the goal. The author generalized and systematized the available data. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop such organizational and technological solutions that will perform the work in a timely manner, with the required quality, without prejudice to the OTR of monolithic construction. Topicality of the article is due to the need in analysis of the organization of construction works and evaluation of the system of building control in the construction of monolithic reinforced concrete structures, with the aim of preventing the emergence of potential defects and irregularities in monolithic construction. Specialists in the field of risk analysis and assessment, experts and insurance companies, and organizations conducting the assessment can use the technique. Subject: organizational and technological reliability as a criterion for the quality of organization of monolithic construction, which affects the duration of work. Analysis of the interrelations between the index of OTR and technological defects and deviations in the production process by forming a database model has not been studied in detail until now. Materials and methods: for developing a technique for increasing the OTR, a general description of the object, its purpose and functions are presented. The indicators of the quality of the object and the characteristics affecting it are formed into an information database. Further, the parameters of factors and the range of their changes at which the normal functioning of the object is ensured are established. Results: using the method of expert assessments, the influence of the occurrence of certain undesirable events (failures) was quantified and the impact of these events on the achievement of the project objectives (duration of construction, cost, project quality) was assessed. The results of the analysis allow us to quickly assess the criticality of the violations identified, perform their ranking, and make corrective actions in the organization of production. The information presented in the database helps to quickly find the optimal technological solution that positively affects the time-saving. Conclusions: conducted analysis led to the conclusion that it is desirable to use the characteristics of the OTR of monolithic construction for the purposes of improving the quality of production processes and provided the information and the scientific basis necessary for improving the organization of production in civil engineering.

Research objective: assessment of the impact of crane loading on safe operation of building by using probabilistic methods; taking into account accumulation of damage in building’s structural elements occurring during operation period. Materials and methods: current computational schemes exploit procedures that do not take into consideration all external effects and changes in structures occurring during operation period of an industrial building. They do not provide algorithms for assessment of spatial response of building’s structures if probabilistic methods are used. Results: the experimental and theoretical research carried out by the author resulted in more precise definitions for computational models and for computational methods of analysis of industrial buildings under the action of various crane loads, including those that are not considered by regulatory documents. The suggested models and methods will enable us to design bearing structures of frameworks in accordance with their real operating conditions. The data obtained in a number of full-scale experiments lead to the conclusion that the amplitudes of vibrations caused by lateral forces when the overhead crane travels with a skew are significantly larger than the amplitudes observed during deceleration of the crane trolley. Conclusions: a hybrid algorithm has been developed; the suggested algorithm implements a complex of procedures for assessment of changes occurring in frame structures under different loading scenarios, during the service life of an industrial building.

Considers the modern building envelope construction with outside skin used as a sun shields. Such a constriction is often used for buildings with low energy consumption. A number of factors besides sun radiation influencing on the performance of facade system in general and every certain parts and elements throughout the entire period of building operation. Subject: multilayer and double skin building facades and sun screens located on their surfaces. Including, dual-use facades combining functions of the sun screen and sub construction for the placement of photovoltaic cells. Materials and methods: the main method was an estimation the aerodynamic and air-thermal characteristics of a double skin façade. Was considered a construction with combined function of a sun shield. The method was previously used in evaluation of the air-thermal regime of hinged facade systems of buildings for cold period of a year. The general approach was advanced and verified by the results of full-scale tests of building facades in the warm period of the year. Results: indicates great influence of air and thermal conditions of air gap in double skin and similar construction facades on performance of façade system in general and on every certain part of it. Conclusions: the construction of complex facade systems with the use of up to date technologies requires additional study of the air-thermal conditions of the air gap between the main facade of the building and its second skin or sun screen. Ignoring the operational features of active sun shields under extreme loads can lead to a decrease in the equipment functionality and its premature failure.

The authors consider up-to-date methods of implementation of requirements stipulated by Federal Law no. 261-FZ that encompasses reduction of heat losses through installation of progressive heat-insulation systems, cement plaster system (CPS), and ventilated facades (VF). Unresolved problems of their efficient application caused by the absence of the all-Russian regulatory documents capable of controlling the processes of their installation and maintenance, as well as the projection of their behaviour, are also considered in the article.
The authors argue that professional skills of designers and construction workers responsible for the design and installation of façade systems influence the quality and reliability of design and construction works.
Unavailability of unified solutions or regulations serves as the objective reason for the unavailability of the respective database; therefore, there is an urgent need to perform a set of researches to have the unified database compiled.
The authors use the example of thermal insulation cement plaster systems designated for facades as results of researches into the quantitative analysis of safety systems. Collected and systematized data that cover defects that have proven to be reasons for failures, as well as potential methods of their prevention are also studied. Data on pilot studies of major factors of influence onto reliability of glutinous adhesion of CPS to the base of a wall are provided.

In the proposed article, the behaviour of a foundation slab resting on the linearly deformable bed and characterized by the modulus of deformation variable in x- and y-axis directions is considered. The modulus of deformation and the load distribution are based on a regular pattern that features the following parameters: modulus of deformation mean =25МРа coefficient of variation =0,2, load distribution mean 0,5 МРа; coefficient of variation =0,1. Correlation coefficients between 1, 2...=0As a result of the research, the authors have identified the empirical deflection to approximate the theoretical load distribution. The research has demonstrated that both deflection and slope values follow a regular load distribution pattern. If the deflection value exceeds 20 cm and the slope value exceeds 5cm, the structure fails. Therefore, the theory of probability may be applied to assess the probability of failure of any structure.

The article presents the results of evaluation and prediction of reliability a building of the ship hull shop of Astrakhan sea plant under the action of complex combination of stresses. Basing on the values of geometric and stiffness characteristics, a computational model of the object of the study was built. The results were obtained in the course of realization of the method of limiting states, taking into account the random character of the current loads and the strength properties of the materials. Their reliability was confirmed by a multiple conduction of the searching algorithm of mathematical expectations and indicators of variations in the calculated parameters of building structures and operating loads. Numerical characteristics were determined by the results of two surveys of natural oscillations of the framework. During the study the authors evaluated stress-strain state of the building of the ship hull shop both taking into account seismic disturbances and their absence. The calculation of the perception of the seismic load was carried with choosing the earthquake model implementation by mapping the impact of the earthquake in the form of a set of random processes with defining spectra of the input and output. The presented results were obtained by the complex automation of calculating integrated indicators. Its components are: safety factor, depreciation rate of structures, reliability index and the residual resource of the framework. When predicting the durability of the research object the correlation dependencies are built in the form of: a fictitious function of generalized load; time function of stress; generalized function of the reserve coefficient; function of working capacity of the carcass structures; function of the reliability index. The developed algorithm for estimating the reliability of an industrial building can be adopted for use as a tool for further research. Its implementation allows accurately tracking the kinetics of the stress-strain state of individual elements and the overall framework of a particular object in the time of operation.

The article raises the problem of increasing the reliability of an industrial building bearing the entire set of frame disturbances. One of the ways to solve it is to mount extra structural elements, previously unrecorded in the design of the object. During the study we examined some of them: installation of mechanical transverse stiffening diaphragms; increasing the rigidity of the column part above the crane; arranging connecting rods located in levels of covering in the temperature seam and crane beams. Choosing the most effective option is determined by constructive and technological features of the research object. In our case, it acts as a one-storey industrial building of hull workshop of Astrakhan maritime shipyard, equipped with overhead cranes. Using this example the calculations, which were carried out, allow estimating the effect from acceptance of constructive solutions for installation of reinforced concrete diaphragms of stiffness at the edges of framework and increase the rigidity of the column part above the crane. During the study four options are considered for calculation scheme using wall panels. These should include representation of the device: as a solid wall; in two columns wide; for large aperture sizes; at the low altitude of the end of the opening. We have presented a comparative analysis of the results before and after the introduction of the corresponding elements in the calculating model of the research object. In the accepted system of constructive measures disc coating with high horizontal rigidity distributes the load on the front diaphragm. Increasing the stiffness of above the tower crane column part gives an additional effect, as an overhead crane is located closer to the cover and in case of the column of more developed section in the above the crane area, it passes the covering greater effort. In its turn, it prevents the transverse displacement and rotation, involving the entire framework into operation. The introduction of these measures contributes to: equal declining of displacements of stresses loads from the action of the nodal points of the frame, both in the level of brake beams and in the surface level; increasing the period of achieving the object’s maximal allowable condition and an extended period of its faultless operation.

The mechanical (structural) reliability of a building, safety of people and continuity of the technological processes in buildings and structures depend on the reliability of the bearing structures on operation stage, including reinforced concrete beams. One of the measures to provide safety and reliability is the probability of no-failure operation of structural elements or systems of elements. For reliability calculation the Russian State Standard recommends to apply probability and statistical methods when possessing enough data on variability of the controlled parameters in the mathematical model of the limit state, in particular, when the amount of data allows conducting its statistical analysis. In the current time there appear the works pointing, that the future advancing of calculation methods for building structures requires the wide use of reliability theory. The article describes the methods for calculating the reliability of a reinforced concrete beam according to the criterion of crack length with the limited statistical information about controlled parameters. The authors illustrate the application of the theory of evidence to determine the statistical mathematical expectation of reliability in the presence of a subset of reliability intervals. Each design case is followed by numerical examples. The article underlines the importance of applying fracture mechanics for the further development of the methods of calculation of reinforced concrete structures.

An accumulation of defects caused by the action of the loads both man-made and external leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the carcass structure during operation of industrial buildings. Most notably this problem manifests itself in the buildings equipped with crane equipment. During operation the columns and crane girders obtain significant deformation, and this entails a reduction in structural stiffness characteristics. At the same time a load factor is enhanced when using heavier equipment. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the opportunities to ensure the reliability required for an industrial building equipped with overhead cranes. The study has developed a complex of calculation methods, the main task of which is to estimate the residual resource of a specific period of technical system operation, taking into account the random nature of a whole set of disturbances. The analysis of the results obtained by the consistent implementation of these techniques allows tracking the dynamics of changes in the stress-strain state of load-bearing structures of industrial objects in operation.In order to solve the problem of providing rigidity frames and improve the reliability of their safe operation the authors propose constructive measures to slow the rate recorded in the calculation of the bearing capacity loss of the system. For this aim we suggest setting the end face transverse stiffening diaphragms, increasing the rigidity of the column above the crane, arranging some connecting rods in the temperature seam, located in the levels of coating and under crane beams. These measures should be used together, which allows achieving a significant effect in providing transverse rigidity. The coating disk with a sufficiently high horizontal rigidity is able to transfer a portion of the load acting on the transverse frames on transverse end faces of the diaphragm. The binder rods prevent relative lateral displacement of the temperature blocks relative to each other, thereby they put the entire frame under the action of horizontal crane loads into operation. Increasing the stiffness of the column above the crane allows transferring a significant part of the effort to the coating when the bridge crane has close proximity to the coating.The proposed constructions are easy to manufacture and do not require the device holes, which weaken the structure. They can be made not only while erecting the buildings, but also in the already constructed ones by increasing the carrying capacity of the overhead cranes. In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed measures to improve the structural rigidity of frameworks on the example of several industrial buildings. The comparative analysis of the results obtained before and after the introduction of affirmative action has shown that their arrangement reduces the horizontal displacements of the frame, in the level of crane girders, and the level of coating, with a larger effect observed in the buildings with heavy-duty overhead cranes. This reduction of displacement involves the growth of bending moments values in above the crane column part and the reduction of the magnitude moments in the under crane part. At the great height under the crane portion of the column in most buildings these changes can save generally significant amounts of steel for the framework.Thus, the proposed technical solutions are aimed not only at extending the safe operation of industrial buildings, but also have a positive effect in case of re-production associated with an increase in the lifting capacity of crane equipment, with little financial cost.

Recently the requirements to the high quality of works for critical groups of buildings are more rigid in Russia. This also concerns the transport structures, which play the key role, such as bridges, tunnels, overpasses and other similar facilities. Particularly high requirements for these structures are: reliability, frost resistance, water resistance, crack resistance and durability. In this article the main principles of providing high consumer properties of these objects are highlighted. Modern achievements in concrete researches are used, which are based on scientific studies performed in JSC CNIIS.The main problem in the process of concrete curing is not only in thermostressed state, which depends on the temperature and on the features of structure formation related to the changes in temperature regime of hardening concrete. The service properties of concrete are also influenced by different kinds of thermal stresses, occurring during concrete hardening: submicrostresses, microstresses and macrostresses. A special role in the theory of concrete hardening is played by the so-called own (or residual) thermal stress, which increases or decreases fracture of constructions. With the help of the accounting for these types of thermal stresses, the author shows how to increase crack resistance of concrete constructions without use of extra means of protection from temperature cracks. Furthermore, the author vividly shows, how to consider the magnitude of the temperature drops properly, which occur in concrete and lead to the formation of residual thermal stresses. The research of thermal stresses helps to reduce the cost of the device for additional thermal insulation of concrete, and to achieve high consumer properties of a construction. Positive results from the performed work were used in the construction of a number of transport tunnels in the city of Moscow, which led to the acceleration of their construction and reduced the cost of providing perfect quality of performed works.

The primary objective of the research is the synergetic reliability of perlite-reduced structural steel 09G2FB exposed to various thermal and mechanical treatments. In the aftermath of the above exposure, the steel in question has proved to assume a set of strength-related and plastic mechanical properties (σσδ and ψ).
On the basis of the above, an equation is formed\[{{{\sigma }_{\Tau }}}/{{{\sigma }_{\Beta }}+{\delta }/{\Psi }\;=}\;={{\left[ {\left( 1+{{\delta }_{}} \right)}/{\left( 1+{{\delta }_{\Rho }} \right)}\; \right]}^{{1}/{\Psi }\;}},\] and its solution in respect of the uniform component ${{\delta }_{\text{P}}}$ is used to generate the expression \[{{\delta }_{\Rho }}={{\left[ {\left( 1+\delta \right)}/{{{}^{\Psi }}}\; \right]}^{0,5}}-1\]and, hence \[{{\Psi }_{\Rho }}={{{\delta }_{\Rho }}}/{\left( 1+{{\delta }_{\Rho }} \right)}\;.\] To use the synergy criteria, the following expression is applied: \[{{S}_{\Beta }}={{{\sigma }_{\Beta }}}/{\left( 1-{{\Psi }_{\Rho }} \right)}\;,{{S}_{\operatorname{K}}}={{\sigma }_{\Beta }}\left[ {1+\Psi }/{\left( 1-{{\Psi }_{\Rho }} \right)}\; \right],\] as well as the following expression of specific uniform and a specific limit energy :
\[{{W}_{\Rho }}=0,5\left( {{\sigma }_{\Tau }}+{{S}_{B}} \right)\ln \left[ {1}/{\left( 1-{{\Psi }_{\Rho }} \right)}\; \right],{{W}_{C}}=0,5\left( {{\sigma }_{\Tau }}+{{S}_{K}} \right)\ln \left[ {1}/{\left( 1-\Psi \right)}\; \right].\]
\[{{K}_{}}={{{W}_{C}}}/{{{S}_{T}}}\;,G={{{W}_{}}}/{{{W}_{C}},}\;{{K}_{a}}={{{W}_{C}}}/{{{A}_{C}}}\;,\]where static viscosity is calculated according to:\[{{}_{}}=0,5\left( {{S}_{\operatorname{K}}}-{{\sigma }_{\Tau }} \right)\ln \left[ {1}/{\left( 1-\Psi \right)}\; \right].\]
The secondary objective of the project is the identification of the steel brittleness threshold to assure controlled rolling and application of the above steel in construction.

Constructive, technical and technological reliability of major pipeline ensures ecological safety on different stages of life circle - beginning with project preparation activities up to the end of major pipeline operation. Even in the process of transition into new life circle stage, no matter if the pipeline needs major repairs or reconstruction, such technical and technological solutions should be found, which would preserve ecological stability of nature-anthropogenic system. Development of ecology protection technologies of construction, reconstruction and major repairs of main pipelines is of great importance not only for a region, but ensures ecological safety across the globe. The article presents a new way of trenching the main oil and gas pipeline, preservation and increase of ecological safety during its service. The updated technological plan is given in the paper for overhaul of the main oil and gas pipeline using the new technology of pipeline trenching. The suggested technical solution contributes to environment preservation with the help of deteriorating shells - the shells’ material decomposes into environment-friendly components: carbon dioxide, water and humus. The quantity of polluting agents in the atmosphere decreases with the decrease of construction term and quantity of technical equipment.

Safety and reliability factors, assumed in Russian and international standards, as well as the main provisions of design of offshore oil and gas structures are considered in the article. The reasons for structures destruction are classified. The analysis showed that the main design provisions and methodology of calculations related to provision of safe and reliable operation of offshore oil and gas structures by different standards are not fundamentally different: the required degree of reliability of the structure is set depending on the social and economic consequences of possible hydrodynamic accidents; calculations are based on the limit states design method using partial safety factors; etc. However, the factors accounting the degree of the structure reliability, partial safety coefficients and load combinations coefficients differ in different standards and methodologies.

According to existing design standards, explosive loading represents a special type of loading.
Explosive loading is, in most cases, local in nature, although it can exceed the loads for which
buildings are designed by a dozen of times.
The analysis of terrorist attacks with explosives employed demonstrates that charges have
a great power and, consequently, a substantial shock wave pressure. Blast effects are predictable
with a certain probability. Therefore, we cannot discuss the no-failure operation of individual structures.
The estimated reliability of buildings is a more important problem. That's how we can save
lives of those people who are outside of the area impacted by an explosion.
Explosive loading is a variable random process influenced by a variety of factors, including the
charge geometry, weight, etc. A shock wave can be reflected from surfaces and objects. Reference
data concerning physical properties of models of explosives are provided in various sources. That's
why we can talk about the blast load value with some probability.
The article deals with the probability modeling of the shock wave pressure. The charge weight
is chosen as a random parameter that has a normal Gauss distribution.
Any structural design must be backed by reliable and verified calculations and mathematical
models based on advanced high-speed PCs and software. The finite element software package
ANSYS/LS-DYNA was employed to complete this research. The problem was solved in the time
domain through the employment of the fourth integration of equations of motion.
We can assess the reliability of structures and buildings if we know the parameters of random
explosive effects. Numerical simulation helps identify random explosive impacts. This problem is
relevant in connection with the construction of unique high-rise buildings and extensive sports facilities
that accommodate dozens of thousands of viewers.

The authors highlight three problems of the age of information technologies and proposes the strategy for their resolution in relation to the computer-aided design of civil engineering structures.
The authors express their concerns in respect of globalization of software programmes designated for the analysis of civil engineering structures and employed outside of Russia. The problem of the poor quality of the input data has reached Russia. Lately, the rate of accidents of buildings and structures has been growing not only in Russia. Control over efficiency of design projects is hardly performed. This attitude should be changed. Development and introduction of CAD along with the application the efficient methods of projection of behaviour of building structures are in demand. Computer-aided calculations have the function of a logical nucleus, and they need proper control. The system approach to computer-aided calculations and technologies designated for the projection of accidents is formulated by the authors.
Two tasks of the system approach and fundamentals of the strategy for its implementation are formulated. The study of cases of negative results of computer-aided design of engineering structures was performed and multi-component design patterns were developed. Conclusions concerning the results of researches aimed at regular and wide-scale implementation of the strategy fundamentals are formulated.
Organizational and innovative actions concerning the projected behaviour of civil engineering structures proposed in the strategy are to facilitate:
safety and reliability improvement of buildings and structures;
saving of building materials and resources;
improvement of labour efficiency of designers;
modernization and improvement of accuracy of projected behaviour of buildings and building standards;
closer ties between civil and building engineering researchers and construction companies;
development of competitive environment to boost competition in the market of structural design companies and in the market of developers.

The recommendations for the development of additional regulatory requirements to reliability of water supply systems in Vietnam are offered. In current construction rules for design, the reliability of water supply systems of water facilities is not standardized. Water systems are classified into three categories, for which the conditions for performing functions in the process of water supply for consumers are formulated. It is not provided to assess the quality of these functions quantitatively. Adoption of design decisions without quantitative assessment of their quality is violating a systematic approach in carrying out construction and design works, which has formed in the global practice. As a result of the research of water supply facilities’ reliability in Vietnam and Russia, the reliability of the existing water supply facilities has been estimated. On the basis of mathematical methods for assessing the reliability of technical objects, the methods for assessing the reliability of water supply facilities and their systems has been justified and systematized. If there is lack of reliability and security requirements to the object of capital construction for design documentation development or such requirements are not established, the development and approval in the prescribed manner of special specifications should precede the documentation development. It is proposed to systematize the statistical data gathering on the reliability of the equipment and facilities of water supply systems by uniform rules. Any designed objects of water supply must have a quantitative estimate of the level of reliability. The outlined methods for assessing the reliability of water supply facilities and systems can be used in the formation of regulatory requirements for reliability in the design of water supply facilities in Vietnam.

This paper considers and asserts the need to obtain the results of inspection of a building at the stage of its commissioning in order to apply comprehensive methodology for assessing its residual life. The author proposes to build regression relationship by correlating the levels of the time series dynamics of stress at certain points of the object calculation scheme considering the results of subsequent surveys. It allows estimating the wear rate of structural elements. The assessment of the reliability and durability of the building frame in a deterministic form is based on the limit states method. The application of this method allows taking into account the random nature of not only the combination of existing loads, but also the strength properties of construction materials by creating a system of safety factors.

In article problems of maintenance of fire safety of buildings in the conditions of transition of control functions behind quality of civil work to the self-regulation organizations are considered. Recommendations about overcoming of arising problems are given.

Subject: the article is devoted to investigation of prestress losses and force distribution in the reinforcement of span reinforced concrete structures. As the long-term studies have shown, these quantities are very unstable, which should be taken into account in structures design. However, the existing normative documents take into account the possible deviations of losses and forces in prestressed reinforcement from their design values in a fairly general form. Since each of the types of losses, according to the formulas, depends on one or several random factors, they should be considered from a probabilistic point of view. Research objectives: determine the scattering of different losses and acting forces in the prestressed reinforcement to identify the factors affecting its value. Materials and methods: in this work, we used the normative technique of prestress losses calculation and characteristics of the variability of physical and mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcement, obtained from the previous studies. The distribution laws of investigated parameters were assumed to be normal (the Gaussian law). To calculate the coefficients of variation, the method of statistical testing (the Monte-Carlo method) and the linearization method (the Taylor series expansion) implemented in MATLAB software package were applied. Results: in the process of numerical experiment, the values of prestress losses and forces scatter in the reinforcement were obtained for all prestressing methods stipulated by the current design codes. It was established that both values depend significantly on the method of reinforcement tensioning, its type and class, and also on the diameter of wire. Moreover, many concomitant factors affect the variability of the above-mentioned characteristics such as the plant-manufacturer, stability of technological process, qualification of the service staff, etc. Conclusions: the obtained data is recommended to be used to determine the accurate values of strength, deformability and crack resistance of span reinforced concrete structures as well as in probabilistic calculations related to the assessment of their reliability by various limit states. In particular, the described technique was applied in calculating the reliability of bent prestressed elements from the viewpoint of strength of oblique sections.

Subject: the article considers one of the possible solutions to the problem of choosing the optimal waterproofing system for underground parts of buildings and structures using logical-probabilistic method. Selection of reliable hydro insulation of underground structures is a complex multi-task, and for successful functioning of the insulation it is necessary to focus on the systematic approach upon its creation. When choosing a waterproofing system, it is necessary to solve a multi-task and account for the specifics and status of a specific object, hydrogeological conditions, the depth of the structures, acting loads, the quality of construction works, etc. Apriori neglect of these factors and the lack of a systematic approach in the selection of hydro insulation system lead to accelerated wear and failure of structures. During operation as the main stage of life cycle of the building, the waterproofing of underground load-bearing frames of constructions is exposed to several rather difficult conditions. Hence, to avoid frequent overhaul, they should be chosen with the increased operational properties. The irregular choice of the protective coating leads to the accelerated wear and failure of the design. Objective assessment of the right choice of protective materials for an underground waterproofing and also selection of the most reliable and long-lived materials, especially for the bases, is a relevant task. The scientific novelty of this work consists in theoretical justification and the proof of a possibility of objective assessment of the choice of long-lived protection of designs of an underground part of buildings with the use of a logical-probabilistic method. Criteria of operational assessment of optimum long-lived materials are established and also the model of a tree of failures for different types of original materials of organic and mineral structure is proposed: bituminous, bituminous and polymeric, elastomeric, thermoplastic, clay, cement. Research objectives: choose an effective and durable hydro insulation system for underground structures of buildings under certain conditions of their operation using mathematical models and tools. Materials and methods: the “wall-foundation plate” system is considered which includes waterproofing membrane, waterproofing key, a repair mix, fillet, foundation mat, cast in-situ reinforced concrete, drainage geocomposite. We have applied logical-probabilistic method, the idea of which is the description of possible ways of functioning of the system by means of mathematical logic and the determination of its operability with the help of probability theory. Results: logical-probabilistic method allows us to analyze alternative options for creating waterproofing system by means of description of the possible ways of functioning of the variants being analyzed with the help of mathematical logic and determine the probability of their operability, based on which the optimal system that meets the requirements can be selected. A lot of factors were considered including the specificity and a status of a specific facility, hydrogeological conditions, depth of structures, acting loads, the quality of construction and installation works, etc. Conclusions: for achievement of the goal of the research, a set of factors including specificity and a condition of a specific facility, hydrogeological conditions, depth of structures, acting loads, quality of installation and construction works, etc. was considered. Taking into account the specified factors and systematic approach when choosing the waterproofing system proved its effectiveness by use of a logical-probabilistic method as the most accurate and reliable mathematical method.
