• The effects of high strain rates and low confining pressures on the dynamic mechanical properties of sandstone were investigated experimentally with a modified triaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. For comparison, dynamic uniaxial compression tests of the sandstone were also conducted by using a conventional SHPB system. The confining pressures used in the dynamic triaxial compression tests are 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 MPa, and the strain rate of these tests varied from approximately 40 s−1 to 160 s−1. The results show that the dynamic uniaxial and triaxial compressive strengths of the sandstone will linearly increase with the logarithm of the stain rate. Under approximately the same strain rate, the dynamic triaxial compressive strength will linearly increase with the confining pressure. Although the peak strain has no dependence on the confining pressure, it will generally increase with the strain rate. The secant modulus is independent of the strain rate and confining pressure. Three trend diagrams, which reflect the influences of strain rate or confining pressure on the dynamic mechanical properties of sandstone in the uniaxial and triaxial compression tests, are given, and the correlation between the failure modes of the sandstone specimens and the characteristics of the stress-strain curves is also analyzed.
