A Comparison of Physical Soil Organic Matter Fractionation Methods for Amended Soils by Sarah Duddigan, Liz J. Shaw, Paul D. Alexander, Chris D. Collins

“…Using five different physical fractionation methods, on soils either nontreated or with a history of amendment with a range of exogenous organic matter inputs (Irish moss peat; composted horse manure; garden compost) and a resulting range of carbon contents (6.8 to 22.2%), we show that method selection had a significant impact on both the total C recovered and the distribution of the recovered C between unprotected, physically protected, or chemically protected conceptual pools. …”

A Study on the Strengthening Performance of Concrete Beam by Fiber-Reinforced Polyurea (FRPU) Reinforcement by Jun-Hyuk Song, Eun-Taik Lee, Hee-Chang Eun

“…Moreover, the load-carrying capacity and mechanical behavior of all specimens were compared according to the content of the steel fibers, milled glass fibers, or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Specimens reinforced using polyurea or FRPU were confirmed to retain the load-carrying capacity and flexural ductility to a certain degree after concrete failure at the tension face of the midspan section. …”
