This study presents the test results of fresh and hardened properties of bottom ash concrete incorporating bottom ash as partial replacement of normal sand at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% by weight. The fly ash and bottom ash are the slag from coal combustion process for power generation.80% fly ash and 20% bottom ash, and are classified as waste in utility disposal sites. In construction large volumes of materials are consumed, such as high way. Embankment construction, it is an economic alternative to the use of traditional materials. This paper presents the bottom ash concrete. the sample of bottom ash were collected neyveli lignite plant. For evaluation of compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength. The bottom ash was added as partial replacement of fine aggregate in 10%, 20%, 30%. In addition humic acid an organic water soluble humic substance derived from lignite was also added in 1%, 1.5%, 2% based on the percentage of water added. In split tensile strength of the cylinder and beam flexural strength the maximum tensile strength is achieved in 10% of Bottom ash and 1% of Humic acid then the normal conventional concrete
