This study investigates the use of Oil Palm Fiber (OPF) as additive material in concrete. The effect of OPF in workability and compressive strength of concrete was evaluated through slump test and compression test respectively. Concrete mix design of grade C30/37 is employed in this study referred as control specimen. The total samples were divided into four different concrete mixtures i.e. control specimen (CO), 5 kg/m 3 of OPF (O5), 10 kg/m 3 of OPF (O10) and 15 kg/m 3 of OPF (O15). Three samples of each mix design were tested under slump test. Meanwhile for compression test, three samples of each mix design were tested on 3 days, 7 days and 28 days. Based on the test result, it can be observed that the workability of the OPF concrete was slightly lower than CO concrete and its decreasing rate was proportionally to the amount of OPF in the concrete. In terms of compressive strength, OPF concrete was greatly higher than the CS Concrete and its incr...
