A Civil Engineering Approach to Development of the Built Martian Environment
A discussion of the concepts that civil engineers and planners can bring to the table in the development of a Mars built environment, this paper focuses on the civil engineering challenges and differences of Mars and presents recommendations for the planning and engineering of a Mars colony. The basics of terrestrial civil engineering for undeveloped areas are discussed from an American perspective. A contrast is shown between the anticipated conditions on Mars and those on Earth. Attention is drawn to the assumptions of modern infrastructure development, based on millennia of human history and Earth conditions and which could or should be modified for Martian environmental challenges. A concept is discussed for mimicking the development and civilization of terrestrial life for a Martian settlement, taking into account these environmental challenges, differences in basic design assumptions and correction of existing development patterns which are inefficient and unnecessary on Mars.
