In this study ground palm oil fuel ash (POFA) has been used as cement replacement in percentages of 0%, 10%, and 20% in a self-compacting concrete (SCC). Fresh properties such as slump flow, T50, V-funnel, J-ring, L-box and segregation index; concrete properties such as drying shrinkage strain, initial surface absorption test (ISAT) as well as compressive strength were investigated. Test results showed that substitution of cement with POFA up to 20%, the fresh properties of the concrete fulfilled the requirements of a self-compacting concrete. The results revealed that concrete has higher compressive strength, lower drying shrinkage, and lower initial surface absorption than control mix. The results indicated that POFA can be used up to 20% as a cement replacement material for producing self-compacting concrete.
