Abstract: Mechanical characteristics of rock massifs and constituent rocks in the zones of influence of underground nuclear explosions are experimentally determined. Zones with a different post-explosion structure of the rock massif and different properties of rocks are identified.

Keywords: nuclear explosion, rocks, mechanical properties.
