As a new type of composite material, fiber-reinforced concrete significantly improves the inherent defects of traditional concrete such as low tensile strength and high brittleness by incorporating various types of fibers into the concrete matrix. Meanwhile, its durability has attracted extensive attention and research. This paper systematically reviews the effects of different types of fibers on the durability of concrete, analyzes the key influencing factors including fiber parameters, matrix properties and environmental conditions, summarizes the main testing methods and evaluation indicators of the durability of fiber-reinforced concrete currently available, and points out the deficiencies of existing research and future development directions. It provides a reference for the engineering application and subsequent research of fiber-reinforced concrete in complex service environments.
