High performance geopolymer concrete (HPGPC) serves as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) based concrete, representing a low carbon construction material that effectively utilizes industrial byproducts while exhibiting superior mechanical and durability properties. This review investigates the performance of hybrid fibre-reinforced HPGPC produced from various precursors and alkaline activators, emphasizing the combined action of different fibre types that enhance crack control, ductility, toughness, and post-cracking behavior. It evaluates the influence of fibres, curing conditions, and supplementary materials on fresh, mechanical, durability, and microstructural characteristics, summarizing the effects of hybrid fibres on workability, strength, and resistance to adverse environments and high temperatures. The review also explains fibre-matrix interactions, geopolymer gel formation, and crack-bridging mechanisms identified through a suite of analytical techniques, including SEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS. HPGPC presents environmental advantages with reduced OPC usage and lower emissions. The review concludes by identifying significant research gaps in fibre optimization, long-term efficiency, and large-scale applications, thus highlighting the potential of hybrid fibre-reinforced HPGPC as a sustainable and superior construction material.
