A curtain wall can only be used with a building with a frame structure, not with a load-bearing wall structure. Like a curtain, a curtain wall: (i) covers the structural frame of the building and (ii) is directly suspended from it. (iii) The lateral and gravity loads from the curtain wall are transferred directly to the building's structural frame.A curtain wall can only be used on a building
with a reinforced concrete frame structure or a steel frame structure. There is a required, standard width of air space between the curtain wall and the structural frame of the building. What is that width?

Problem 1.61 For the assembly and loading of Prob. 1.60, determine (a) the aver¬age shearing stress in the pin at C, (b) the average bearing stress at C in member BC, (c) the average bearing stress at B in member BC. Problem 1.60 Two horizontal 5-kip forces are applied to pin B of the assembly shown. Knowing that a pin of 0.8-in. diameter is used at each con¬nection, determine the maximum value of the average normal stress (a) in link AB, (b) in link BC.
2 kg of saturated liquid water is to be boiled at a constant-pressure of 100 kPa in a piston-cylinder device until the water is all saturated vapor. Determine the work and heat transfer for the process.
