Abstract The concrete is most widely used as the fundamental building construction material, so understanding the dynamic behavior of concrete under various conditions is an issue of great importance for applications in civilian and military engineering. In addition, the concrete material under the different strain rates and confinement effects, the behavior of mechanics is obviously different. Accordingly, the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is used to examine the dynamic mechanics behavior of RPC under uni-axis and multi-axis stress. In addition, the mechanics performance of the reactive powder concrete under the static and dynamic loading is summed up completely and the results of this study can be utilized as a reference in research and design.
