Analysis of Cement Emulsified Asphalt Mortar Gap on CRTSII Slab Track under Train Loading

Abstract

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.
