This research studied unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and indirect tensile strength (ITS) of lateritic soil (LS) improved by biomass ash (BA) geopolymer. The lateritic soil used in the research was marginal lateritic soil (MLS) that did not meet the standard of the department of highway. Solution of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3, NS) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH, NH) were a mixture of alkaline solutions. The MLS/BA ratio of 90:10, NS/NH ratios of 10:90, 30:70, and 50:50 and NH concentration of 8 M were used in this study. soaked- and unsoaked-strengths of MLS-BA geopolymer samples were tested at curing time of 7 days. The maximum UCS and ITS of MLS-BA geopolymer samples were found at MLS/BA ratio of 90:10, and NS/NH ratio of 50:50 which gave soaked- and unsoaked-UCS values of 972 and 1,066 kPa and soaked- and unsoaked-ITS values of 135 and 137 kPa, respectively.
