In this paper, the tensile properties of cement‐based composites containing random discontinuous steel fibers are reported. Direct tensile tests were performed to study the effects of fiber length (hence fiber aspect ratio), interfacial bonding, and processing conditions on composite properties. Composite tensile strength and ductility are highlighted and discussed.
