Crushing compression test of sand has been done under static loading conditions in the fields of geotechnology. However, measurement method of experiment has not been established at high speed impact due to the various parameters of sand (grain diameter, density, material, moisture content) which make it more complicated. The development and performance evaluation of projectile accelerator for high speed experiment had been performed for the study of crushing phenomenon of the sand. The diaphragmless vertical gas gun do not use the diaphragm that will affect the experiment had been developed and is able to handle target material with fluidity.
