- Abstract
- This report summarizes the Building and Fire Research Laboratory's research for 1992. The report is arranged by its research programs: structural engineering, materials engineering, mechanical and environmental systems, fire science and engineering, and fire measurement and research. Each summary lists the project title, point of contact, sponsor, research and results. BFRL's mission is to increase the usefulness, safety, and economy of constructed facilities, and reduce the human and economic costs of unwanted fires in buildings.
