The influence of these mineral admixtures on the concrete’s durability under aggressive environmental conditions was investigated. Steel, polyester, and hybrid fibers were incorporated at volume fractions of 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.0% to further enhance durability performance. Freeze-thaw and sulfate resistance tests were carried out to evaluate the effects of fiber type and content on the durability behavior of the geopolymer concrete. The test results showed that the mineral waste-based binder system itself offered considerable durability while the addition of fibers significantly improved resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and sulfate attacks. Among all types, the geopolymer concrete with 0.5% polyester fiber exhibited the highest resistance to freeze-thaw while hybrid fiber usage provided a balanced enhancement across both test environments.Taylor and Francis Ltd.2025Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/13973https://doi.org/10.1080/21650373.2025.25218082165-0373enJournal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materialsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/13973
