Abstract
This paper reports the results of an ongoing research effort aimed at developing "waterless" concretes based on JSC-1 lunar regolith simulant. "Waterless" concrete, composed of lunar regolith used as an aggregate, and either a provisioned binder or a binder extracted from lunar regolith, such as sulfur, which is used as a cementitious material. The paper also presents several concepts utilizing this concrete for lunar habitat integrated construction. Integrated construction technology trade study data are presented, along with conceptual designs of these concrete application methods. Results of initial technology prototype development efforts are reported.
