Abstract
This paper conducted 11 split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests on the calcareous sand sampled from a calcareous reef in China and silica sand sampled from Fujian Provence of China. The relative density is 90%. The strain-rate history, strain history, and stress-strain curves were obtained for sand specimens with three thicknesses including 10 mm, 30 mm and 50 mm. It is found that test error can be reduced by standard procedure in sand preparation. The stress equilibrium and constant strain rate can be achieved by changing the thickness of specimen, the length of striker and the pulse shaper. With an identical relative density and loading condition, the volumetric modulus and shear modulus of calcareous sand is approximately 10% of the silica sand; and the strength of the calcareous sand is approximately 30% of the silica sand. Therefore, the results of existing silica sand can not be directly applied to calcareous sand because of their large discrepancies.
