The large deformation and strong rheological characteristics of the underground rock body under complex geological conditions have led to the failure of the support system and even the instability of tunnels from time to time. Based on the theory of groundwater seepage, the elastic solution of the mechanical model of the tunnel anchorage support system under seepage is solved, which reveals the influence of seepage on the peripheral rock and the support parameters of the anchorage support system; the viscoelastic solution is solved according to the corresponding principle of elasticity-viscoelasticity, which analyses the influence of seepage on the rheological process of the anchorage support system; and the model is simulated with the help of finite element software, which analyses the agreement and discrepancy of the numerical solution and the theoretical solution. The results show that the analytical and numerical solutions are basically consistent. This study can provide important guidance for controlling long-term stability of water-rich tunnel rocks.
