【 摘 要 】

The article presents a visual and instrumental research of the technical condition of the main rock-cut structures and their masonry additions, the documentation of their damages (cracks, crevices, destructions and erosions) and deformations, thorough complete laboratory studies of rock samples and their physical and mechanical characteristics, conceptual approaches to preventive and reinforcing measures necessary for the further safe survival of structures, as well as the comprehensive development and implementation of measures to prevent further damages (elimination of causes) and ensure the long-term existence of structures. Based on the analyses carried out, it is recommended to use a ready-made dry mixture mortar of the “Mapegrout'' brand produced by the Italian company “Mapei” to fill cracks if necessary. It is available in the market of the country and is successfully used in the reconstruction of tunnels and other underground structures. The issues of compatibility of reinforcing materials with sandstone rock are also considered on the basis of some averaged data of the main decisive physical and mechanical characteristics of the strength and deformation of sandstone.
