The modern world infrastructure is built on concrete which is valued due to mechanical power and flexibility. Nevertheless, its comparative lack of longevity and the lack of multifunctional capabilities are constant constraints. To deal with these problems, the current research examines the production and testing of Magneto-Conductive Concrete (MCC) that employs carbon fibers as well as manufactured sand (M-sand) as the sustainable alternative to river sand. Both the geopolymer based and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concretes were prepared and experimented to establish their mechanical and durability behavior. The program included Compressive Strength (CS), Split Tensile Strength (SPS), Flexural Strength (FS) and Water Absorption tests in the experiment. Findings revealed that geopolymer concretes consistently delivered superior performance over OPC mixes, with compressive strengths ranging between 40–135 MPa, compared to 35–90 MPa achieved by OPC. Optimum performance was achieved at 50% M-sand replacement, though full substitution remained feasible with only minor reductions. Durability assessment showed slightly higher water absorption in geopolymer concretes than OPC, yet within acceptable limits, confirming the suitability of M-sand as an eco-friendly fine aggregate. The findings highlight the potential of MCC as a multifunctional material for sustainable and smart infrastructure.
