To investigate the influences of the chemical corrosion on the dynamic fracture mechanical properties and failure characteristics of marble, the dynamic fracture test for the notched semicircular bend (NSCB) marble specimens with different degrees of corrosion damage was conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar. The results show that both the porosity and corrosion damage variable D c characterized by porosity increase as corrosion time T increases. The dynamic fracture toughness decreases linearly from 5.22 to 2.15 MPa m 1/2 as D c increases from 0 to 4.42%. This is because the corrosion damage done to interior structure leads to a reduction of cohesion and internal friction angle inside the specimen. In the D c range of 0–4.42%, the fractal dimension of the main crack propagation path increases from 1.47 to 1.59, by an increase rate of 8.16%. Both the joint roughness coefficient and the actual area of the fracture surface increase as D c increases. Due to the degradation of the connected force between the rock particles inside the specimen, there is an obvious decrease in the fracture energy per unit fracture surface from 0.94 to 0.38 J cm −2 , with a decrease rate of 59.39%. With T increases, the contents of CaO, MgO, and Al 2 O 3 in specimen increase, indicating that the degree of corrosion damage increases.
