Implications of Geology for Construction
Abstract
The surface of the Moon is covered in regolith, which is NOT soil! The regolith is shattered igneous rock plus glass. The particles are unsorted, unweathered and not abraided. Modeling of the regolith at the level of individual particles will be very problematic. Modeling of the regolith, if successful for one area, will be successful for most other areas if variation in particle size is addressed.
