The aim of this study is to determine the effects of well-graded coal bottom ash (CBA) on concrete as sand replacement on lightweight concrete in terms of mechanical and thermal properties. Coal bottom ash (CBA) is one of the by-products produced during energy production process in power plant. However, due to high demand electricity in Malaysia, this leads to excess production of CBA and this led to several environmental problems
