Annotation: The article is about the up-to-date state of the problem – building structures protection. Having analyzed the literature data, we have considered the main constituents of the methodology of determining building structures protection. There have been fixed the following main principles of building structures protection: improvement of analytical methods of specifying loads, actions and design mathematical models of structures (the principle of design scheme specification); a choice of structural schemes excluding a possibility of an avalanche-like damage of a structural system under breaking one or some elements (the principle of a structural system survivorship); a choice of rational structural forms providing a good quality of assembly works and technical maintenance (the principle of a structural form rationality); control of materials and civil and erection works (the principle of quality control); operating conditions control in the process of operation (the principle of technical supervision); an artificial decrease of loads if there are observed features of a dangerous state (the principle of load limitation); defense of structures of attacks (the principle of structure protection); enhancement and reconstruction of structures at their damage in operation (the principle of recovery).

Keywords: methodology, building structures, failures, survivability, safety.
