摘要

Extraterrestrial construction presents many interesting and new challenges. Transporting large amounts of construction materials from Earth is cost prohibitive. Thus, to take advantage of limited in situ extraterrestrial resources, this work focuses on a novel class of biopolymer-bound soil composite (BSC) materials. These quasi-brittle composites are produced by desiccating a mixture of soil, water, and a biopolymer binder to create a versatile material with uniaxial compressive strength comparable to concrete. This paper expands upon a BSC design methodology for regolith soils. Previous work has been successful in reliably designing BSC materials with graded sands that exhibit compressive strengths above 20 M Pa. Lunar regolith, JSC-1A simulant presents an additional challenge due to the broad ranges of the soil particle sizes. Nineteen BSC mixes using JSC-1A regolith were tested with varying biopolymer solution concentrations and biopolymer to soil ratios. A maximum compressive strength of 25 MPa was obtained at a biopolymer concentration of 48% and a biopolymer to soil ratio of 12.4%. A brief discussion on the effect of manufacturing variables on compressive strength and bulk density is presented. Finally, a design tool is introduced to design regolith BSC for desired compressive strength for future use in the structural design of structures on the Moon, Mars, or other extraterrestial bodies.
