A method of numerical simulation of liquid-saturated porous media, that represents a combination of particle method and finite-difference method, namely, the hybrid cellular automaton method was proposed. It allows taking into account inelastic deformations, dilation and fracture of solid skeleton as well as the influence of pore pressure on the stress state of the skeleton and the redistribution of a liquid in filtration volume of porous medium. The method was applied to study the influence of viscous compressible liquid in pores of material on its strength and fracture. It has been shown that the strength of brittle liquid-saturated specimens depends on the material properties and the geometry of porosity, the physical-mechanical properties of the liquid etc. The latter shows the topicality of application of numerical methods to study and predict strength properties of fluid-saturated media under loading.
