Environmental concerns associated with the construction industry have drawn increasing attention worldwide. This study addresses the dual challenges of carbon emissions from cement production and construction waste disposal by developing and characterizing a fiber-modified geopolymer recycled aggregate porous concrete (GRAPC). An orthogonal experiment first optimized the GRAPC mix proportion (slag content = 40%, alkali modulus = 1.4, alkali content = 8%). Subsequently, the effects of coir, basalt, and steel fibers (0.25% and 0.5%) on its properties were investigated through laboratory experiments combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results show that steel fibers at 0.25% dosage enhanced compressive strength by approximately 25% due to their effective stress-bearing capacity. In contrast, 0.5% coir and basalt fibers reduced compressive strength by approximately 20.5% and 22.2%, respectively, due to low intrinsic strength and agglomeration. In addition, 0.25% coir and steel fibers increased effective porosity by 18.4% and 17.4%, respectively, owing to their uniform dispersion. All fibers promoted a more ductile-like failure mode, with coir fibers providing the best toughness improvement. This study elucidates how fiber type and dosage regulate the macro-properties and micro-mechanisms of GRAPC, providing a basis for designing sustainable eco-friendly concrete with great potential for non-primary load-bearing engineering fields.
