Abstract For the limitations of current in-situ stress measuring methods when they are carried out in high in-situ stress conditions( >0.5),a new goestress measurement method called based on partly restoration slot relief method is proposed to measure in-situ surrounding rock stress in high stress condition,and its feasibility is illustrated by theoretical model. This new method was applied at an experimental tunnel in Jinping II hydropower station,China;and the measured maximum stress is 80 MPa. When the test is carried out,it is not need to obtain intact rock core,meanwhile,the instruments of extra-high pressure is not requried. The device of this method is light weight,the operation is easy and quickly. It can be used to measure in-situ rock stress in high stress condition. it provides measured stress for prevention of the cavern rockburst and slope treatment.
