Expansion deformation of concrete mixture during steam curing process was a kind of unrecoverable volume expansion which would definitely affect the performance of concrete component. Because there were a few researches on expansion deformation of concrete mixture during thermal curing process, a new test method composed of constant temperature water bath, eddy current measurement sensor and data processing program was developed to measure the expansion deformation. The volume deformation characteristics of a typical concrete used for preparing track slab of China high-speed railway were investigated. Test results indicated that volume deformation of concrete mixture could be divided into 2 stages. One was rapid expansion at heating stage and another one was slow shrinkage at constant temperature stage. Besides, the addition of combination of flying ash, slag, nano-silica and nano-calcium carbonate was benefit for controlling the eventual expansion deformation during the whole thermal curing process. Study could be an important reference for heightening quality of steam-cured concrete.
