Self-compacting high strength concrete is one of the concrete that is needed in a green construction of building. In order to improve the workability of self compacting high strength concrete with silica fume which can be applied on the green construction building is needed. This study is aimed to get the optimum percentage substitution of silica fume by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of cement on the self-compacting high strength concrete. The workability of the concrete will be tested using slump flow test and L-shaped box test then compared to EFNARC requirement for self-compacting concrete. The results show that the slump flow test and L-shaped box test of the concrete comply with the EFBARC requirement. The compressive strength of the concrete tested at 28 days with substitution of silica fume of 0%; 5%; 10%; 15%; and 20% were 34.33 MPa, 36.78 MPa, 50.98 MPa, 52.82 MPa, and 36.78 MPa, respectively. While the modulus elasticity of the concrete tested at 28 days with substitution of silica fume of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were 21883 MPa, 22410 MPa, 22590 MPa, 22680 MPa, and 21874 MPa, respectively. So the optimum substitution of silica fume in self-compacting high strength concrete using local quartz sand and quartz powder is 10% up to 15%.
