Experimental Study on the Influence of Different Loading Rates on Fatigue Mechanical Properties of Sandstone
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors have done so many groups of experiments, at least from the perspective of ensemble average, from the mean and variance levels to explore the statistical mechanical properties of sandstone. In general, this study is very interesting and can be accepted after minor revision.

Reviewer 2 Report
I have the following comments to this article:
1. The chapter Conclusion needs to be significantly expanded and reworked, whereby it is necessary to emphasize the obtained results, the conclusions and orientation of a further development.
2. I recommend a fundamental reworking chapters 3 and chapters 4. With regard to the professional content, this article fully fits into the concept of the given journal.

Reviewer 3 Report
The article presents a narrow range of research results. The literature review should be significantly expanded. The article lacks a critical discussion of the research results in relation to the current world literature. The subject matter is very weakly related to sustainable development, in my opinion it is not related to the Sustainability profile. After completing the literature and discussing the research results, the manuscript may be addressed to another journal, e.g. Materials, Minerals, Applied Sciences, Geotechnics, CivilEng ..... Good luck!

Reviewer 2 Report
Accept in present form
Reviewer 3 Report
The article has been corrected in accordance with the comments contained in the reviews, now it is more readable and transparent. The objectives and results of the research are adequately presented. The presentation of the problem in relation to the current international literature and the discussion of the research results are somewhat unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, the article can be accepted for publication in its present form. Good luck!
