Abstract: As a kind of multiphase composite, the reinforcement and toughening effect of steel fiber reinforced cementitious composite depends on the interfacial bonding properties between steel fiber and matrix. According to the single fiber pull-out tests and numerical simulation of the steel fiber reinforced cement mortar at different ages, the effects of ages on the interfacial bond properties of steel fiber reinforced cement mortar were studied. A meso-scale model of single fiber pull-out tests of the steel fiber reinforced cement mortar at different ages was established and verified by comparison with the simulated and tested results. The mechanism of interfacial bond between fiber and matrix of steel fiber reinforced cement mortar at different ages and the stress variation of the section around the interface between steel fiber and cement mortar matrix were analyzed by this model. The results show that, the simulated peak pull-out load and the pull-out curves are in good agreement with the tested results. Both the peak pull-out load of steel fiber and the interfacial bond strength between steel fiber and cement mortar matrix increase with the increase of age. The interfacial bond strength increases rapidly in the stage of the first 7 d, then slows down. The growth rate of interfacial bond strength in different age periods gradually decreases and tends to be stable with the increase of ages. The fitted mechanical parameters of the interface between steel fiber and cement mortar effectively simulate the pull-out process of the steel fiber.
