Study of Dynamic Mechanical Properties on Cement Asphalt Mortar of High Elastic Type

Abstract

Dynamic mechanical properties of high elastic type cement and asphalt mortar (CA mortar) for high-speed railway was studied by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) in this paper. The experimental result show that the compressive strength of CA mortar increases gradually with the increasing of strain-rate. However, the increasing rate of compressive of CA mortar decreases with the further increasing strain-rate. The increasing rate of compressive strength is 57.65% for the strain-rate ranging from 25.16 s-1to 35.79 s-1 and 20.39% for the strain-rate from 94.64 up to 111.15 s-1, respectively. The larger the strain-rate is, the more serious the cracking is when CA mortar specimen damaged. The specific energy adsorption of CA mortar increases with the increasing strain-rate.
