In the current study, a review on the response of soils subjected to high strain rate loadingis presented. High strain rate loading on soil may be applied through high loading rate uniaxialcompression tests, triaxial tests, split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests, and shock tube test.Herein, the results of SHPB tests from the literature have been reviewed and the effect of strainrate on the stress-strain response of soils, elastic modulus, initial inertia, peak and failure stressesof soils have been studied. The effects of strain rate, initial void ratio, confining pressure andsaturation on the high strain rate response of soils are also discussed. The review thus providescomplete understanding of soil behavior under high loading rates.
