This paper reviews the mechanisms of toughening in fiber reinforced cement based composites. Reference is made to frontal, crack tip and wake processes, and estimates of contributions to composite toughness of the individual mechanisms are included. It is emphasized that the wake processes, which dominate the inelastic energy absorption during fracture development in these materials, can be well...
