AbstractBond-slip characteristics for steel micro-fibers bonded in cement-based matrices were investigated by conducting single fiber pull-out tests. The influence of the following factors was investigated: fiber inclination, fiber size, fiber embedded length and matrix refinement using silica fume. It was found that the bond-slip characteristics of fibers aligned with respect to the loading direction were necessarily superior than those inclined at an angle. Inclined fibers supported smaller peak pull-out loads and absorbed lesser pull-out energies than the aligned fibers. The use of silica fume in the matrix was found to improve both the average interfacial bond strength and the maximum interfacial bond strength between the fiber and the matrix.

Whisker pull-out, which indicates that the interfacial bond strength of whiskers/cement is not high enough, is dominant in the microstructure of whisker-reinforced cement fractured surfaces. The weak interfacial bond of whiskers in cement matrix severely restrained the further improvement of properties. Superfine slag powder was used to modify and improve the strength and bond behavior of whisker-reinforced cement. Crystal structures, microcosmic appearances and characterizations of Slag Micro powder and the composite were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scan electron microscope (SEM/EDS), etc. Effect and mechanisms of different Slag powder content on the micro-structure and macro-properties of cement composite were investigated. The results show that Slag Micropowder can modify and improve the microstructure, interfacial and mechanical properties of whisker-reinforced cement.

Interfacial bond strength between epoxy resin and glass fibre was studied using the pull-out and push-out techniques. For untreated fibres, these micromechanical tests gave similar values of the local interfacial shear strength and critical energy release rate. In the case of fibres treated by γ-APS, both tests showed considerable increase in the bond strength. However, for the modified fibres, the pull-out test gave greater values of both interfacial parameters than the push-out test, a result attributed to the different modes of interfacial loading. The different loading patterns also cause different failure mechanisms in these two tests.
