Based on the modeling method of 3D meso‐scale finite element model of plain concrete, a 3D meso‐scale finite element model of reinforced concrete is established considering the interface transition zone between reinforcement frame and mortar, and the reliability of the established meso‐scale finite element model is verified by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test results. The failure process of reinforced concrete specimens under typical impact velocity and the influence of interface effect on specimen strength are analyzed by numerical simulation. The research results show that the 3D meso‐scale model of reinforced concrete considers the meso‐scale structure of reinforced concrete more realistically, and can better reflect the damage change process inside the material in the dynamic loading process. The weak interface effect caused by reinforcement can lead to the slight weakening of the dynamic strength of the material, but at the same time the weak interface effect of the reinforcement is also the main reason why the residual form of reinforced concrete remains well aligned with the shape of the reinforcement frame after the failure.
