      • 3 hours of reading

      Focusing on lunar regolith, the book explores its similarities to Earth's granular soils, particularly in desert regions. It details the author's innovative "dry compaction technology," previously applied in Libyan road construction, alongside laboratory and site investigation results. Additionally, it presents a method using Shannon entropy to assess the resilience of this technology compared to traditional methods. The author advocates for its application in ongoing and future space agency projects aimed at developing transport infrastructure on the Moon and beyond.

      The book addresses the critical issue of inadequate road maintenance, highlighting its financial impact on countries due to premature rehabilitation needs and increased vehicle operation costs. It emphasizes the necessity for effective budget allocation within constrained resources, urging road administrations to prioritize maintenance at all levels, from national to local. Accurate assessment of road conditions is presented as essential for determining maintenance needs and establishing budget priorities, ultimately aiming to enhance the value derived from limited funds.
