Question: Three concrete stress - strain curves ( i . e . , Curves A , B , and C ) are presented in Fig. 1

Three concrete stress-strain curves (i.e., Curves A, B, and C) are presented in Fig. 1.(a)(3 points) Determine for each curve, the (approximate) specified compressive strength and strain of the concrete.(b)(1 point) Per appropriate ACI318-14/19 equations or expressions, find the modulus of elasticity (Ec) of concrete Curve B shown in Fig. 1. Assume normal weight concrete.(c)(2 points) Using Secant approach, find the Secant modulus of elasticity of concrete Curve B shown in Fig. 1.(d)(1 point) Per appropriate ACI318-14/19 equations or expressions, determine the modulus of rupture (fr) of concrete Curve C shown in Fig. 1. Assume normal weight concrete.(e)(1 point) Would the answer for part (d) be different if the concrete were classified as sand-lightweight concrete. If yes, what would be the corresponding
