The CSIRO overcoring stress relief and hydraulic fracturing methods are the most popular methods used for the measurement of in-situ stress at depth. One major advantage of the CSIRO overcoring stress relief method is that the three dimensional state of stress can be obtained, but the measurement must be done in an excavated tunnel[1]. Hydraulic fracturing method can be carried out on the ground surface, but it assumed that one of the principal stresses direction is vertical[2,3]. In terms of the disadvantages of the two methods, the techniques based on core orientation and acoustic emission behavior of rocks are incorporated in the in-situ stress measurement in order to obtain the in-situ stress conditions at depth in Shuichang Iron Mine. According to the comparison of the measurement data obtained from the acoustic emission test in the laboratory and CSIRO overcoring stress relief measurement in the field, effectiveness of the acoustic emission test is confirmed. In addition, the relationships between in-situ stresses and tectonic settings are analyzed. Finally, the distribution of in-situ stresses in Shuichang Iron Mine is given, which provides a meaningful guideline for the following mining and design.

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.
