摘要：In order to improve the character of common cement mortar which are brittle and easily cracked, andtotake advantage of the local materials, abandoned fishing nets was used toform get the cement-based fiber materials. In this study, the influence of the amount and length of abandoned fishing nets on the mechanical properties of cement mortar and its mechanism were discussed. Four different lengths of abandoned fishing nets were adopted under four kinds of dosages to mix with mortar and make a total of 16 test blocks. Then the flexural strengths of the prepared test blocks were tested, and the load-deflection curve of the test block was obtained. The results showthat the residual strength after the test block after which reachesthe peak load in the flexural test generally increases with the increase of the fiber content and the length of the fiber, but when the dosage and length increase to a certain range, the influences becomecomplicated. The crack propagation simulation byAbaqus further revealed the reinforcement mechanism, and it can be concluded thatthe bridging between the fiber and the matrix has a great influence on the character toughness.
