The progressive destruction has enormous economic and social consequences. The problem of finding the optimal way to protect high-rise buildings from the development of a chain of avalanche-like destruction process has become of great importance due to the increase in the height of such buildings. In this work the method of protection of buildings from progressive destruction at which the technology of amplification by means of weights and built-in power frameworks is used is investigated.
