Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is a major source of CO2 emissions in the environment. Recent micro- and macro-behavioural research has focused on geopolymer concrete (GPC), an innovative alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete. Geopolymers, a cement-based alternative, can serve as a substitute for OPC composites. Geopolymer composites (GC) are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than organic polymer composites. The structural features and qualities of reinforced concrete (RC) are very relevant to the building sector. A variety of factors, including the binder material mix, curing conditions, and particle type, influence the strength of geopolymer concrete. Binders like fly ash, slag, metakaolin, and the right alkaline activator change how well the geopolymer matrix sticks together and how strong it is overall. Temperature and humidity, both factors in the curing process, determine the optimal approach for producing the appropriate mechanical properties. The geopolymerization process requires the presence of many components. The mix design has an impact on the concrete's workability, strength, aggregate type, and water-to-binder ratio. To demonstrate that geopolymer concrete is a suitable alternative for conventional concrete. Using SPSS. Identified five key elements influencing the effectiveness of construction Strength of Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Geopolymer Precast Concrete using factor analysis. Divide these elements into the following categories: Their classification depends on a number of factors, such as the type and amount of alkali activator used, the mix design and proportions, the geopolymer binder's composition, the presence of adjuvants or additives, and the curing conditions.
