Purpose

The precast concrete slab track (PST) has advantages of fewer maintenance frequencies, better smooth rides and structural stability, which has been widely applied in urban rail transit. Precise positioning of precast concrete slab (PCS) is vital for keeping the initial track regularity. However, the cast-in-place process of the self-compacting concrete (SCC) filling layer generally causes a large deformation of PCS due to the water-hammer effect of flowing SCC, even cracking of PCS. Currently, the buoyancy characteristic and influencing factors of PCS during the SCC casting process have not been thoroughly studied in urban rail transit.

Design/methodology/approach

In this work, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is established to calculate the buoyancy of PCS caused by the flowing SCC. The main influencing factors, including the inlet speed and flowability of SCC, have been analyzed and discussed. A new structural optimization scheme has been proposed for PST to reduce the buoyancy caused by the flowing SCC.

Findings

The simulation and field test results showed that the buoyancy and deformation of PCS decreased obviously after adopting the new scheme.

Originality/value

The findings of this study can provide guidance for the control of the deformation of PCS during the SCC construction process.
