Jixi mine area is one of the early mined areas in China and it's a typical deep mine. Because of large deformation of underground roadway and dynamic disasters occurred frequently in this mine, five measurement points of in-situ stress in this mine was measured and then analyzed with inversion. Based on these in-situ stress measurement data, numerical model of 3D in-situ stress back analysis was established. According to different stress fields, related analytical samples of neural network were given with FLAC program. Through the determination of hidden layers, hidden nodes and the setting of parameters, the network was optimized and trained. Then according to field measurement of in-situ stress, back analysis of initial stress field was conducted. Compared with field measurement, with accuracy requirement satisfied, it shows that the in-situ stress of rock mass obtained is basically reasonable. Meanwhile, it proves that the measurement of in-situ stress can provide deep mines with effective and rapid means, and also provide reliable data to optimization of deep roadway layout and supporting design.

Deformation memory effect (DME) is one of the rock memory effects. One important application of the DME is to determine the in situ stress. The in situ stress measurement methods based on the DME are commercial and permit large number of measurements. Application of DME needs the reliable and effective identification methods to detect the DME. However, the existing identification methods are insufficient and not distinct. In this paper, a new method based on fractal dimension was proposed. It takes advantage of the increase of the irregularity of the stress-strain curve after the previous maximum stress attained. Numerical models for the sandstone and granite were developed based on the contact bond model in PFC2D. Fractal dimension method was employed to detect the DME for two types of the rock. The results demonstrate that the fractal dimension method is effective and reliable in the identification of DME in rock.
