Abstract
The self-compacting concrete (SCC) filling layer is a key structural component of the China railway track system type III ballastless track structure. The quality of the filling layer directly affects the durability, comfort and safety of the track system. Based on job site practice in the construction of the Zhengzhou–Fuyang high-speed railway, the distribution characteristics of the dynamic elastic modulus and homogenisation index of the SCC used as the filling layer with different workability parameters (slump flow, T500 and filling time) were obtained by sampling the SCC core from the filling layer. Image analysis software was employed to analyse the size and distribution characteristics of the surface defects statistically. The filling layer quality was evaluated according to the homogenisation index and the surface defect ratio. The results showed that the dynamic elastic modulus of the SCC in the filling layer tended to decrease from the intermediate filling hole to the four outlets. The order of influence of workability parameters on the filling layer quality was found to be T500, slump flow and filling time.
