Gaoligong Mountain tunnel is the key project in the Dali-Ruili Railway. In order to optimize the design and guide construction, In-situ stress has been conducted in five boreholes using hydraulic fracturing method, the current shallow crustal in-situ stress state at the project area are obtained according to the measurements results, and deep in-situ stress is predicted using lateral pressure coefficient. The test results show that at depths ranging from 299-979m, the maximum horizontal principal stress is 5.33-30.12Mpa, the minimum horizontal principal stress is 4.94-23.11Mpa, the horizontal principal stress reach 30Mpa at maximum the depth of burial, indicating that the engineering stress filed is dominated by horizontal stress. Based on the In-situ stress data and different distinguish methods, rockburst and large deformation are predicted. The results show that In-situ stress magnitude in this area is classified as high level, and the direction of the maximum horizontal stress is NEE, In-situ stress orientation is conductive to stable of the tunnel. When the tunnel passes through the deep-burial and hard rock, the wall rock may happen rockburst; and the large deformation may happen when the tunnel pass through the weak rock. In order to avoid the disadvantage conditions, reasonable excavation method and safety support method should be adopted during tunnel excavating.
