A team of Iranian engineers studied Martian materials on Mars in a research project looking at local materials.
They assembled data sets about soil composition from Mars landers and orbiters.
They came up with a collection of concrete types that future colonists could use.
The authors mention something called "blood concrete," or its modern version: AstroCrete .
In the long term, searching out and understanding the materials available on the red planet will help future colonists build the necessary habitats and cities.
The authors point out that additional study of both materials and the Martian environment using data from current and future missions is necessary.
The study was published in Acta Astronautica ( 2024 ).
