— Figure 3 displays the compressive strength of red bed soft rock material at different strain rates. In the range of strain rate from 37 to 102 s −1, dynamic compressive strength increases linearly with the increase in strain rate. When the strain rate reaches 96 s −1, the compressive strength increases to 4.63 times of 37 s −1.
