The  uses  of  sand  as  fine aggregate in the production of concrete has become excessive. New research has been up by  using  oil  palm  frond  to  replace  sand  in  the  concrete  mixture.  This  research  was conducted  to  investigate  workability  and  strength  of  concrete  with  oil  palm  frond  as partial fine aggregate replacement. The oil palm frond is grind into smaller size suitable to  sand’s  size  as  it  be  used  as  partial  fine  aggregate  replacement.  For  this  research, different percentage which are 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% of oil palm frond was used as partial fine aggregate replacement to produce various type of mixes. All concrete was design to grade C25/30. Then, all samples were cured for 7, 14 and 28 days in the water tank.  Slump  test  was  conducted  to  determine  the  workability  of  fresh  concrete  while compressive strength test and flexural test were conducted to determine the strength of hardened concrete. Results show that, the compressive strength of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5%  fine  aggregate  replacement  achieved  the  compressive  strength  of  38.02,  26.34, 24.89 and 19.33 N/mm2, respectively at 28 days. Meanwhile, for flexural strength results show that after the fine aggregate replacement it achieved 35.33, 22.17, 19.71, and 16.81 N/mm2, respectively for replacement of 0%,  2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5%. Findings showed that the optimum percentage of fine aggregate replacement was 2.5%. These results show that oil palm frond concrete can be used as fine aggregate replacement in which reduced cost and eco-friendly. At the same time, uses of OPF as partial fine aggregate replacement in concrete  would  reduce  the  high  dependency  on  natural  fine  aggregate  and  offering alternatives to preserve natural sand for the use of future generation.20aFaculty of Civil Engineering and Earth ResourcesxDisertations 0aUniversities and collegesxDisertations 0aTheses  2lcccPSM
