Overview: A model has been formulated for analyzing the influence of fiber inclination angle on its rupture load in fiber reinforced cementitious composite. As a stiff fiber is pulled with an angle to the direction of pulling, the fiber rupture load decreases compared to the case with zero inclination angles. This phenomenon is called fiber apparent strength (defined as rupture load divided by fiber cross-section area) degradation. A parametric study, including the influence of elastic moduli of fiber and matrix is carried out. The model results indicate that with the increase of fiber inclination angle, fiber apparent strength decreases.
