ABSTRACT
The environmental impact of Portland cement production, particularly its high carbon emissions, has raised significant concerns in the construction sector. Geopolymer concrete offers a more sustainable alternative, but research on self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) reinforced with fibers remains limited compared to SCGC without fibers. To fill this gap, this study conducted an in-depth literature review using the Publish or Perish application with Scopus data and VOS-viewer software for bibliometric analysis. The resulting bibliometric map reveals the network of keyword connections, shedding light on emerging trends and key focus areas in SCGC research. This review not only explores the fresh and mechanical properties of SCGC with fiber variations but also provides insights that can direct future studies in this field. The aim is to encourage further research and innovation, contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable SCGC with fiber reinforcement in construction practices.
