This review explores the development and potential applications of space concrete, a critical
material for future extraterrestrial construction. Space concrete, adapted to withstand the …

The load-carrying performance for deployable lunar tower architectures using thin-ply
composite booms is parametrically evaluated. These towers support a communications and …

Future construction of large-scale space structures will need to exploit natural space
resources for raw materials such as iron from asteroids, which is expected to be a key …

Thrust network analyses are commonly used in the stability analysis of three-dimensional
masonry structures. Stability under gravity loading is ensured if a permissible thrust network …

The establishment of secure earth-independent long-term lunar habitats has been
envisioned by numerous government agencies and private companies. Recent …

Increasing computational power has led to the expansion of civil engineering research into

A comprehensive overview of seismic signals, waves, instrumentation, and their diverse
applications is discussed in this chapter. Natural seismic signals including tectonic …

It has been more than five decades since the most recent human exploration resulted in new
footprints on the lunar surface. The ongoing Artemis mission envisions establishing a …

ABSTRACT NASA's plan to return humans to the lunar surface with the Artemis program and
the fast growth of commercial space companies require an understanding of the structural …

In order to establish a permanent human presence on the moon, it is necessary to build
habitat structures capable of protecting humans against the lunar environment. Due to …
