Steam-cured concrete with high early strength has been widely applied in high-speed railway. However, heat damage caused by the steam curing process brings adverse effects on the pore structure and durability of steam-cured concrete. It has been found that phase change materials (PCMs) help improve the durability of cement-based materials. Therefore, the influences of two PCMs on the strength, water absorption, and microstructure of steam-cured mortar are discussed in this study. Two PCMs used include pure paraffin and a composite phase change material composed of porous diatomite and paraffin (D/P). The results show that the addition of appropriate PCMs does not significantly reduce the strength of steam-cured mortar. The addition of a small amount of PCMs shows little influence on the pore structure of steam-cured mortar but effective in improving the water-penetration resistance. This is partially attributed to the improvement of hydrophobic characteristics in the pores, resulting from the adhesion of hydrophobic PCMs on the pores during the steam curing. Compared with specimens containing pure paraffin, the pore structure of specimens containing D/P is refined, resulting in higher compressive strength. This may be due to the uniform distribution of small particles D/P in the specimen and the pozzolanic reaction of diatomite in D/P. The use of suitable phase change materials will be helpful to improve the durability of steam-cured concrete.

Filling layer self-compacting concrete (FLSCC) is a key construction material in China Rail Track System (CRTS) III slab ballastless track and its resistance to impact loading is of great importance to the service security of high-speed train. In this paper, the dynamic mechani-cal characteristics of FLSCC under impact loading were investigated with a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at strain rates ranging from 101 s_1 to 102 s_1. Results show that the compressive strength, peak strain, elastic modulus and toughness ratio of FLSCC all increase with strain rate. The increase factors of compressive strength (DIFc) and strain (DIFe) of FLSCC increase linearly with decimal logarithm of strain rate. The elastic modulus (Ed) and toughness ratio (TR) increase linearly with strain rate. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) shows greater strain rate effect than normal concrete (NC). However, FLSCC presents lower strain rate effect but better toughness performance than normal SCC. The incorporation of large content of SP and VMA provides FLSCC with higher porosity, which makes it possess excellent dynamic mechanical performance.
