Abstract. Peculiarities of specifying physical and mechanical properties for the water- and gas-saturated rocks in the geomechanical models are considered with the purpose to improve stability and safety of the tunnel supports.

Basing on the analytical findings and generalized regular changes of the rock physical and mechanical properties under the influence of such key factors of the rock breaking as loads and water and gas saturation it was stated that water saturation in the rock samples resulted in complete loss of compression resistance in 4 % of limestones, 13 % of sandstones, 62 % of siltstones and 89 % of mUDCtones, while average compression limits were reduced by 2.5-2.6 times in siltstones and mUDCtones and by 1.5 times in sandstones and limestones. Dependences between the rock uniaxial compression strength and depth of the rock occurrence were established with taking into account residual strength of the broken rocks. It was determined that rock strength was less and coefficient of variation was greater in the water-saturated rocks than in natural rocks. It was proved that variation coefficients had much greater spread of values in the water-saturated rocks than in the dry rocks. For example, this coefficient was 13.6-15.4 % greater in the water-saturated sandstones and limestones and 26.8-26.9 % greater in the clay mUDCtones and siltstones; i.e. the rock strength spread was 44-58 % greater due to the water saturation. The findings have made possible to formalize boundary conditions for computational experiments at the level of critical (the lowest possible) or averaged parameters with taking into account the rock residual strength.
