In order to investigate the mechanical properties and energy transfer law of jointed deep tuff under one-dimensional dynamic loading, seven kinds of tuff specimens with specified natural joint inclinations were tested by SHPB test device. During the tests, the dynamic process was recorded by high-speed camera in real time. The influence of joint inclination angle on the dynamic response characteristics of deep tuffs was systematically analyzed in terms of dynamic strength, energy dissipation and macroscopic damage. The results show that tuffs has the lowest dynamic strength when the joint inclination is 45°, and the dynamic compressive strength and peak strain show a tendency of decreasing firstly and then increasing in the range of joint inclination angle increasing from 0° to 90°. Besides, the final damage modes of the specimens are controlled by the nodal inclination, and the final damage modes of tuff specimens with different nodal inclinations can be classified into tensile damage, tensile-shear composite damage and shear damage. When the incident energy is roughly the same, the reflection energy ratio and transmission energy ratio of tuff present a decrease-increase trend with the increase of natural joint inclination angle, with the lowest energy ratio at 45°. However, the trend of the dissipation energy ratio is opposite. The energy-time density increased first and then decreased with the increase of joint inclination angle. When the direction of load and joint is within 45°~60°, more energy is absorbed and used for self-crack propagation.
