Lunar Civil Engineering and Extra-terrestrial Architecture: A Comprehensive Framework for In-Situ Resource Utilization and Habitat Construction (Volume-III) (The Lunar Civil Engineering Series)

Lunar Civil Engineering: Structural Systems and Extraterrestrial ConstructionMaterials, Pressure Vessels, and Robotic Fabrication in Vacuum EnvironmentsBuildings on the Moon are not supported by gravity—they are defined by pressure.This volume develops the core engineering principles of construction in extraterrestrial environments, where internal pressure, thermal stress, and inertial forces dominate structural behavior.Inside this volume:Pressure vessel design and hoop stressLunar construction materials and sintering technologiesGeopolymers and waterless concrete systemsRobotic and autonomous construction methodsStructural optimization under reduced gravityProtective systems against radiation and impactsThis is the central engineering volume of the series, focused on how structures are actually built on the Moon.
