Can Concrete be Used to Build Underground Moon Bases Using a TBM?

  • Thread starter AnnaTank
  • Start date
In summary, concrete has been proposed as a potential building material for underground moon bases using a TBM (tunnel boring machine). This method would involve using the TBM to create tunnels and then lining them with concrete for structural support and protection from radiation. However, there are still many challenges to be addressed, such as finding a way to transport and mix concrete in a low-gravity environment and ensuring the durability of the structures in extreme temperature conditions. Further research and development are needed before concrete can be considered a viable option for building underground moon bases.

How did you find PF?

I was looking into concrete in space as a moonbase using a TBM (tunnel boring machine) and then the whole base underground?
