The research undertaken examines the impact of recycled tire steel fiber (RTSF) and waste aluminum (WAL) on the mechanical properties and freeze–thaw durability of sustainable fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). RTSF (0.5%, 1.25%, and 2%) and WAL (10%) were added on their own and as hybrids. Findings revealed that 1.25% RTSF was the optimum content to use, as it enhanced compressive strength by 12.8% with high durability. Tensile and flexural strengths also increased for higher fiber contents with the help of good crack bridging and increased post-crack ductility; maximal gains of 52.6% and 11.8% were obtained at 2% RTSF. In contrast, the increase in porosity and the decrease in strength were demonstrated with WAL, whereas hybrid mixes delivered a balanced performance. Microstructural analysis ensured that there was an enhanced bonding between the fibers and the matrix, coupled with a refinement in the pore at the optimal fiber content. This study establishes the structural viability, durability improvement, and sustainability prospect of hybrid recycled material concrete as a construction material with eco-efficient and resilient applications.
