Design of a Lunar Surface Structure. II: Seismic Structural Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During the Apollo missions, seismic events with estimated body wave magnitudes of 5.5 were observed. Whereas the terrestrial equivalent can cause moderate to severe damage to buildings, the effects on a lunar structure is ...
Economic and Technical Issues for Lunar Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An overview is provided of the key issues facing those who view lunar development as a desirable goal. There is general agreement that in order for lunar development to begin, there must be a capitalist component of interest. ...
Engineering, Design and Construction of Lunar Bases
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: How do we begin to expand our civilization to the Moon? What are the technical issues that infrastructural engineers, in particular, must address? This paper has the goal of introducing this fascinating area of structural ...
Framework for Evaluation of Lunar Base Structural Concepts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerous concepts have been considered, and are still being developed, for permanent lunar base structures. These concepts try to account for the lunar environment and its particular requirements. Among other parameters, ...
Design of a Lunar Surface Structure. I: Design Configuration and Thermal Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An igloo-shaped magnesium structure, supported on a sintered regolith, covered by sandbags of regolith shielding, and made using rapid manufacturing technologies is proposed as a potential design of a lunar structure. Also, ...
Regolith Mechanics, Dynamics, and Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the differences of the gravitational accelerations of the Earth and lunar environments, geotechnical engineering must be applied differently in the two environments. This study investigates those differences. Of ...

Cable Structures and Lunar Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lunar environmental characteristics, such as the lack of atmosphere, the smaller gravitational acceleration, and the weaker regolith, place different requirements on structural systems than the earth environment does. Some ...
