Considering the characteristics of periodic changes of water level, the test study on typical sandstone in the Three Gorges reservoir area was carried out. Firstly, six groups of sandstone specimens were subjected to alternate vacuum saturation and drying cycling, when the vacuum saturation and drying cycles n was 0 (natural state), 1, 3, 5, 9 and 13 respectively. Secondly, the electrical resistivity test was carried out on each group of saturated or dry sandstone specimens, and the saturated specimens were subjected to physical and mechanical tests. The variation rule of saturation electrical resistivity Res and drying electrical resistivity Red of sandstone specimens changing with the vacuum saturation and drying cycles n was analyzed. The correlation among Res, porosity P, saturated water content ws, uniaxial compressive strength σc, elastic modulus E and n were studied. Finally, combined with the SEM results of saturated sandstone specimens, the correlation between electrical resistivity and physical, mechanical performance indexes, as well as microscopic characteristics was analyzed. The results show that: after one time of water saturation of sandstone specimens at natural state, the saturated electrical resistivity Res decreases by 81.6%, and Res increases with the increase of n, and the growth trend is relatively stable. When n increases from 5 to 9, the dry electrical resistivity Red increases a leaping manner, and when n is in the range from 5 to 9, cracks in the sandstone specimens can be found from the SEM images. Compared with Res, Red changes more greatly. When n equals 5, Res, P, ws, σc, and E of sandstone specimens all have characteristic points. Moreover, the variation rule of Res, P, and ws changing with n are basically the same, which indicates that Res can be used as an effective index for analyzing the macro-micro characteristics of alternate vacuum saturation and drying cycle sandstone.
