This research is focused on designing in-situ-based concrete material for extraterrestrial construction. Five regolith lunar simulants varying in their compositions were tested and their mechanical performance tested. The results have shown that the lunar regolith simulants are feasible for such concrete technology but exhibit variability due to their mineralogy, amorphous (glass) content, and particle size and shape distributions.
