Which types of occupancies are best suited for load-bearing wall buildings?

What will be an ideal response?


Load-bearing walls must line up at all floors, giving a cellular type structure. Therefore, the occupancies best suited
for such structures are those with repetitive floor plans, such as hotels, apartments, dormitories, hospital wards,
and so on.

The vapor pressure of benzene at T=25 °C is 0.125 bar. The Appendix of your book contains enough additional data on benzene to estimate other vapor pressures by the Antoine, shortcut, or Clausius-Clapeyron approaches.

The molar volume of liquid benzene at room temperature and pressure (T=25 °C, P=1 bar) is V = 88.9 cm3/mol. Liquid benzene also has a coefficient of thermal expansion of ? =1.237 x 10-3 K-1and isothermal compressibility of ? = 8.9 x 10-5bar-1 A) Give your best estimate of the vapor pressure of benzene at T=50 °C, and explain why you chose the method that you chose. B) Give your best estimate of the vapor pressure of benzene at T=100 °C, and explain why you chose the method that you chose. C) Give your best estimate of the fugacity of liquid benzene at T=25 °C and P=20 bar, and state any assumptions that you make. D) (10 points) Benzene expands as it’s heated. Estimate the molar volume of liquid benzene at a temperature of 50 °C and a pressure of P=1 bar.
