The debonding of cement emulsified asphalt mortar (CA mortar) is one of the main damage types in China railway track system II slab ballastless track. In order to analyze the influence of mortar debonding on the dynamic properties of CRTS II slab ballastless track, a vertical coupling vibration model for a vehicle-track-subgrade system was established on the base of wheel/rail coupling dynamics theory. The effects of different debonding lengths on dynamic response of vehicle and track system were analyzed by using the finite element software. The results show that the debonding of CA mortar layer will increase the dynamic response of track. If the length of debonding exceeds 1.95 m, the inflection point will appear on the vertical displacement curve of track. The vertical vibration acceleration of slab increases 4.95 times and the vertical dynamic compressive stress of CA mortar near the debonding region increases 15 times when the debonding length reaches 3.9 m. Considering the durability of ballastless track, once the length of debonding reaches 1.95 m, the mortar debonding should be repaired.

The finite element method was used to analyze the deformation and stress of track in different length and height of gaps under the train load. In order to study the influence of gap between the slab and emulsified cement asphalt mortar of china railway track system II slab track on the subgrade, a model of CRTS II slab track was established on the base of elastic foundation beam theory and finite element software ANSYS. The results show that gap between slab and CA mortar has significance effect on the stress and deformation of track structure. The deformation of rail and slab, the longitudinal stress of slab were increase with the increase of gap length, but has less effect on lateral stress of slab. When the length of gap exceed to 1.95m, the deformation and stress have the tendency of increase sharply, the length of gap between slab and CA mortar should not exceed 1.95m. The gap between slab and CA mortar has effect on the durability and lifetime of ballastless track, so the gap should be maintenance timely.

The contact loss beneath track slab caused by deteriorated cement emulsified asphalt mortar (CA mortar) has been one of the main diseases occurring in the CRTS- (China Railway Track System-) I Slab Track of high-speed railway in China. Based on the slab track design theory and the vehicle-track coupling vibration theory, a vehicle-track vertical coupling dynamic FEM model was established to analyze the influence of the contact loss length on the dynamic characteristics of vehicle and track subsystems at different train speeds. A prototype dynamic characteristic experimental test of CRTS-I Slab Track with CA mortar contact loss was conducted to verify the FEM model results. The train load was generated by the customized ZSS50 excitation car. The results showed that when the operation speed is less than 300 km/h, the contact loss with length smaller than 2.0 m barely affects the running smoothness ride safety of vehicle. The contact loss length effect on the dynamic characteristics of track subsystem is pronounced, especially on the track slab. Once the contact loss beneath the track slab occurs, the vibration displacement and the acceleration of the track slab increase rapidly, while it has little influence on the displacement and acceleration of the concrete roadbed.

Experimental investigation on cement emulsified asphalt mortar (CA mortar) under uniaxial monotonic compression by taking into account the stochastic properties were investigated. An analytical constitutive model based on the statistic damage approach capable of mimicking the stochastic mechanical responses of CA mortar under uniaxial compression was proposed. The comparison between the experimental results and the predictions demonstrated that the proposed model was able to characterize the salient features for CA mortar under uniaxial monotonic compression. Furthermore, the compressive stochastic evolution (SE) of CA mortar tested in this work and comparative analyses among typical China Railway Track System-I (CRTS-I) type CA mortar and concrete in several aspects were examined and performed; it was revealed that the Lognormal distribution density function can well represent the damage probability density for CA mortar, and its stochastic constitutive relationship can be reflected by a media process of transition from microscale to macroscale.

Foundation settlement of high-speed turnouts has a significant impact on its security serve status. Based on the general finite element software ABQUS, a vehicle-turnout-roadbed coupled dynamic model was built, and the dynamic properties of NO.18 movable-point turnout were analyzed in this paper. The result shows that: the acceleration of switch rail and nose rail is larger than that of track in common section under foundation settlement; large vibration and deformation of the track structure arise when the vehicle is going through, meanwhile the peak of foundation lateral vibration response is higher than that of vibration caused by the vehicle passing switch rail. The derailment coefficient, rate of rail load reduction, the acceleration and displacement of track plate and foundation all increase with the settlement of foundation. On the contrary, they reduce as the length of subtense. Also, the dynamic response of high-speed turnout grows along with the speed of the increasing under foundation settlement.

In this paper, the dynamic response analysis of long-span continuous bridge under earthquake and train load was simultaneously performed. In order to clearly reveal the mechanism of vibration coupling between vehicles and highway long-span continuous bridge, a numerical model including soil foundation, vehicle and bridge under inclined seismic wave was established utilizing finite element software. The dynamic response of the bridge with different wave incident angles and different train speeds was numerically analyzed. The results show that the wave incident angles have a significant effect on the dynamic response of the bridge, and with the increasing of the wave incident angle, the vertical displacement and velocity as well as the acceleration of mid-span constantly increase. While the dynamic response of the bridge does not increase always with the increasing of train speed, however, at a certain train speed, the dynamic response will reach the maximum. With the increasing of the train speed, the vertical displacements of mid-span points increase while the moments at mid-span reduce significantly when the soil–structure dynamic interaction was considered. The results can provide significant references to ensure the train safe running on the bridges under the earthquake.

For construction method of infusion bag, expansion of CRTSⅠCA mortar on site by core drilling, water absorption, chloride ion permeability and frost resistance and other properties were studied in comparison with performance of mortar in laboratory under standard curing. The results showed that expansion of the mortar on site was 2%, water absorption was 0.5%, charge amount was 210C, quality loss after 300 freeze-thaw cycles was -1.1%, the performance was much better than molded mortar in laboratory. Pore structure analysis showed that the internal pore diameter of the mortar on site was about 150μm, pore content was 9% to 12%; the internal pore diameter of the mortar in laboratory was also about 150μm, pore content was 10% to 15%. China railway track system(CRTSⅠ)slab ballastless track is one of the main structure forms of the modern high-speed railway and mainly composed of concrete basement, the Cement-emulsified Asphalt Mortar layer and concrete slab, featured by its rapid construction, convenient maintenance, and so on, has been widely applied in high-speed railway construction in our country. The cement-emulsified asphalt(CA) Mortar is one of the key materials and structures in slab ballastless track, providing the appropriate stiffness and elasticity which is usually composed of cement, emulsified asphalt, grit, water and many types of additives, containing a variety of inorganic/organic compositions and many types of surfactants, through the special bag, filling inside the flat cavity by its own weight between track slab and concrete basement with a thickness of 50mm (length×width 4962 mm×2400 mm). The construction method of CA mortar is grouting the non-woven fabrics bag after setting the bag under the track slab fixed by fine adjustment claw, which is convenient and has no requirement of mould removal. The bag is fixed before the perfusion process and does not produce wrinkles. The method greatly enhances the construction efficiency and has been widely utilized in high-speed railway. To full perfusion and tightness with track board, CA mortar contains gas former and expands after the end of infusion in a restricted state. Non-woven fabrics bag itself with breathable permeable, a small amount of water seeps around infusion bags in a period of time after the end of the infusion. Theoretically free water seepage of mortar on the one hand increases the compactness and durability of the mortar, but on the other hand will reduce the mortar expansion; the quality of filling layer mortar can meet the acceptance requirements in the engineering practice. In the same raw materials and mortar mixing, the performance of fresh mortar can require CRTSⅠ type of slab track emulsified asphalt cement mortar in high-speed railway Q / CR 469-2015. After water seepage performance of hardening mortar on site is different from laboratory mortar, because the surface of laboratory mortar is without compression and free deformation. In this paper, contrast mortar on site and molded mortar in laboratory, the performance of hardened mortar on site were studied.

To study the mechanical properties of the China Railway Track System type II (CRTS-II) ballastless slab track structure, a 1/4-scale specimen of a CRTS-II slab ballastless track-32-m standard prefabricated simply supported box girder bridge with three spans and two high-speed railway lines was developed. The mechanical properties of the structure under the action of daily natural temperatures were studied under the natural environmental conditions. The structural strain and relative interlayer displacements were analyzed. The results show that the temperature of the CRTS-II ballastless track-bridge structural system changes periodically every 24 h. The strain of the structural layers of the track system first increases and then decreases sinusoidally, and the internal strain of the track system lags along the vertical depth direction. The relative displacement between the layers of the ballastless track bridge structure system increases with the increase in temperature. The extreme value of the vertical relative displacement appears between the track bed and the bridge at section 1/4 in the span, so it should be paid attention to by the maintenance personnel. Due to the constraint of the shear slots, the structural strain and relative displacement at the fixed end near the shear slots are smaller than those at the sliding end. The mid-span deflection is the largest, and the overall deflection during the cooling phase is more significant than that during the heating phase.
