The invention relates to a composite cement-based quick-setting dry material for maintaining plate ballastless tracks. The material comprises, by weight, 25% to 45% of composite cement, 7.8% to 15% of composite mineral admixtures, 0.05% to 0.1% of retarders, 0.05% to 0.11% of antifoaming agents, 0% to 0.01% of water-retaining agents, 0.26% to 1% of thickening agents, 0.1% to 0.16% of a water reducing agent, 0.05% to 0.1% of fibers and 46% to 62.5% of quartz sand. The invention further discloses quick-setting mortar which is manufactured by mixing, by weight, 83% to 86% of the dry material and 14% to 17% of water. The invention further discloses a process which comprises steps of material preparation, material mixing, hydration and the like. The composite cement-based quick-setting mortar can achieve gravity grouting, initial and final setting time intervals are short, early strength develops quickly, later strength is not decreased, no water is secreted, no sedimentation exists, the inflation is tiny, the anti-freezing performance is good, obvious contraction does not exist, and the like.
