This study investigates the effects of Fiber reinforcement on workability, mechanical properties, and durability Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) Conventional (CC) mixes. Fly ash ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) were used as binders, with river sand manufactured (M-sand) fine aggregates. Polypropylene steel Fibers incorporated to evaluate their impact compressive strength, flexural modulus elasticity. Durability tests conducted assess long-term performance, including sulphate resistance, acid water absorption. The novelty this lies in combined use M-sand within GPC, a relatively unexplored combination, highlighting its potential for improving both properties. results showed that adding decreased workability but significantly enhanced properties durability. Steel Fiber-reinforced particular, exhibited highest strengths superior aggressive environments. demonstrates sustainable materials like fly ash, GGBS, M-sand, can be viable alternative conventional concrete, offering structural performance environmental benefits. findings provide insights into optimization GPC mixes modern construction applications.
