With a new era emerging in the field of lunar exploration and habitation, there is a need for
research on structural forms made of local soil material (regolith), which will be able to …

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 …

Increasing computational power has led to the expansion of civil engineering research into
using machine learning concepts for developing improved design strategies. These …

Curved structures have enabled masons, engineers, and architects to carry heavy loads and
cover large spans with the use of low-tensile strength materials for centuries, while creating …

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 …

Following the current trend towards the space exploration, this study focuses mainly on the
conceptualisation of the most efficient lunar arch forms to be adopted by the future structural …

ABSTRACT AI and Machine Learning are becoming particularly useful for the exploration of
the design alternatives and can offer a range of advantages when applied to the exploration …
