Abstract: Fiber reinforced cement composites (FRCC) is a multiphase composite composed of fiber, matrix and fiber-matrix interfacial transition zone. The microscopic pore structure and meso fiber-matrix interaction determine its durability. The periodic increase and decrease of environmental temperature in cold regions cause cementitious materials to undergo freeze-thaw cycles, rapidly decreasing durability. Therefore, based on the mechanism of FRCC freeze-thaw damage, this paper summarizes the influence of freeze-thaw cycles on the pore structure and mechanical pro-perties of FRCC and analyzes the relationship among them. The effects of the different freeze-thaw cycles on the FRCC's fiber type, content, aspect ratio, and pore characteristic parameters are first investigated in this paper. After that, the relationship between the mechanical properties of FRCC in the freeze-thaw environment and the fiber's inherent properties, fiber-matrix interface bonding property, and relationship between them is examined. Ultimately, the existing freeze-thaw damage models of FRCC based on pore structure are summarized, and the prospect of establishing multi-scale freeze-thaw damage models is proposed.
