The paper discusses a simple specimen geometry to obtain the fibre/cement interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The specimens are easy to prepare and easy to test. The technique gives reliable and reproducible results. IFSS results for five different fibres with cement were measured. Most IFSS values obtained are in the range of 0.15 to 1.5 MPa. Despite the simplicity of the technique presented in this study, the results are in agreement with those obtained by several other researchers using different techniques and specimen geometry.
