Fatigue characterisation of Martian concrete: a review

Spacecraft have been dispatched to Mars as part of human missions aimed at exploring new frontiers, driven by the observed similarities between the red planet and Earth. This endeavour has facilitated the development of construction materials suitable for human settlements on Mars. To determine the...
