We consider ${\tau}_{\infty}(F)$ - the space of upper triangular infinite matrices over a field F. We investigate injective linear maps on this space which preserve the additivity of rank, i.e., the maps ${\phi}$ such that rank(x + y) = rank(x) + rank(y) implies rank(${\phi}(x+y)$) = rank(${\phi}(x)$) + rank(${\phi}(y)$) for all $x,\;y{\in}{\tau}_{\infty}(F)$.

We characterize the additive operators preserving rank-additivity on symmetry matrix spaces. Let $S_{n}(F)$ be the space of all $n\;\times\;n$ symmetry matrices over a field F with 2, $3\;\in\;F^{*}$, then T is an additive injective operator preserving rank-additivity on $S_{n}(F)$ if and only if there exists an invertible matrix $U\;\in\;M_n(F)$ and an injective field homomorphism $\phi$ of F to itself such that $T(X)\;=\;cUX{\phi}U^{T},\;\forallX\;=\;(x_{ij)\;\in\;S_n(F)$ where $c\;\in;F^{*},\;X^{\phi}\;=\;(\phi(x_{ij}))$. As applications, we determine the additive operators preserving minus-order on $S_{n}(F)$ over the field F.
