This paper presents the results of the investigation conducted to assess the latter day strengths of concrete in which the cement constituent of the mix has been partially replaced by empty palm oil fruit brunch (EPO-FBA). The structural parameters investigated were: workability, density and compressive strength. Some physical properties and chemical analysis were conducted. Slump test was used to assess the workability, while 150 x 150 x 150mm concrete cube specimens were used to assess the density and compressive strength characteristics. Replacement of Portland cement with EPO-FBA were carried out up to 20% by weight at interval of 5%. The results showed that (i) the concrete specimens with EPO-FBA became less workable with increase in the cement replacement with EPO-FBA, (ii) normal density concrete was obtained with densities in the range 2240 – 2480 kg/m3 when the cement constituent of the mix was partially replaced with EPO-EBA up to 20%, and (iii) the compressive strength developed by the concrete specimens at 5% cement replacement with EPO-FBA was better than the control samples.
