Building Technology Project Summaries, 1981-1982
Center for Building Technology programs address building construction productivity, structural and geotechnical engineering, building materials, building physics, and building equipment. Typical CBT activities include: investigating failures, such as the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel skywalk collapse, to determine needs for improved design and construction practices; improving measurement techniques, such as development and calibration of a hot-box to accurately determine heat transfer in full-scale complex-work assemblies; defining characteristics of building performance, such as predicting service-life of polymers (a group of materials expected to see much more use during the 21st century); and developing methods to predict the energy performance of new refrigerant mixtures for heat pumps. This report summarizes CBT's research for 1981-1982. Each summary lists the project title, its progress, point of contact within CBT, and sponsor.
