In deep roadway mining, high water pressure causes rock mass cracking and weakens the overall strength, affecting the stability of underground metal mine mining roadways. Therefore, using a numerical simulation method, we analyzed the strain softening characteristics of rocks after the inflexion point of elasticity and studied the strain distribution and the minimum support resistance under high-pressure groundwater conditions. Considering the groundwater pressure and effective porosity on the strain softening characteristics of the surrounding rocks, we investigated the critical groundwater pressure under which the surrounding rocks would remain stable. Actual engineering verification helps to obtain the supporting characteristic curves under different influencing factors. We found that water pressure and effective porosity are the significant factors that decide the development scope of the plastic zone. The more significant the increase of the plastic zone, the more notable the changes in the support curve. Moreover, the plastic zone is likely to occur when the hydraulic head is between 30 and 50 m; when the hydraulic head exceeds 50 m, it is likely to produce a relaxation zone.
