Compared to other materials which have predictable properties, due to their geological formation, soils are complex and variable materials. Therefore, appropriate methods of laboratory analysis, field testing and construction technologies have been recently implemented. Part One of this book includes a Practical Guide for Soil Compaction, in various geo-climatic areas of Earth, including the "dry compaction" technology, recommended also for the compaction of Lunar regolith for the future NASA envisaged communication ways. Part Two of the book offers a useful software : Uniteras.py, for the...

Due to the specific modes of its cosmic and geological formation, the "lunar regolith", alias "the lunar soil", has very similar properties with our "earth regolith" existing under the form of granular soils, in some desert areas. After a short description of the state of art concerning the lunar regolith, this book is proposing the use of the "dry compaction technology", experimented an implemented by the author for the construction of some road in the Libyan Desert. For a better understanding of this technology, in the Annexe 1, the detailed results of laboratory and site investigations for...
