“…Fibre-reinforced concrete “SFRC” is a composite material with better qualitative strength characteristics than plain concrete. Thus, the distribution of fibres significantly affects the resulting mechanical properties and performance of the composite [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. All the properties of fibre reinforced concrete are, in real use, able to meet the computing and model requirements, especially when meeting the condition of uniform fibre dispersion.…”

The article is focused on finding the possibility of the controlled orientation of fibres in fibre reinforced concrete constructions. This is because the controlled orientation of the fibres can contribute to the improvement of some properties of fibre reinforced concrete. The research is based on the experimental investigation of orientation control–rotation of fibres in a transparent matrix representing concrete replacement. From the conceptual model, the article continues with experimentation, data analysis and comparison of conclusions. During the experiment, a mechanical tool was developed and monitored to guide the fibres. The main monitored parameters of the levelling tool were the tips dimensions and the distance between them. The experiment results show the possibility of achieving a higher orientation of the fibres around one axis and suitable parameters of a mechanical tool.

“…Increased urban population growth is proportional to the use of plastic as a medium used in everyday life (Procházková et al, 2019). Disposable plastic material is an important part of most Indonesian people; this is because it is easy to carry, portable, strong, abundant in size and shape, inexpensive, and easy to obtain (Khoironi et al, 2019;Ledererová et al, 2019). The use of plastic as a drink bottle is a simple example that is widely used, one of which is by students who are not only students in urban or rural schools.…”

“…The basic problems in waste management in big cities are limited space, control, pollution, and social problems. Community dependence on the use of plastics, due to the durability of plastics as packaging for food and drinks, is relatively stronger than other materials (Khoironi et al, 2019;Ledererová et al, 2019;Pavani & Rajeswari, 2014). It is supported by the relatively low cost of plastic production, thus increasing the amount of the plastic output because it is in line with the amount of disposable plastic usage (Pavani & Rajeswari, 2014;Martín, 2015).…”

“…Most plastic bottles produced end up in landfills or at sea (Van et al, 2019). The food and beverage packaging industry is the dominant user of plastic products, which accounts for almost 60% of usage while building equipment and household appliances 15%, the automotive sector, 8%, with other areas also contributing to agriculture and horticulture (Khoironi et al, 2019;Ledererová et al, 2019).…”

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to find out the involvement and behavior of students attending school in urban and rural areas in the management of plastic waste. Indicators of student behavior in waste management consist of the types of waste disposed of, students' willingness to dispose of plastic waste according to their grouping, as well as frequent disposal of plastic waste. Methodology: The research instrument used was a questionnaire and interview conducted in one school in urban areas and one school in rural areas. Subjects involved in the study were high school students in urban and rural areas of Solo. Main Findings: The results showed that there were enthusiastic differences between rural and urban students in the management of plastic waste; the common concern of urban students was 85%, while rural students were 73%. The research findings show that students who study in urban areas have higher plastic waste care behavior than students who study in rural areas. Applications of this study: The implications of the results of this study can be useful for further research, namely on the management and use of waste as recycling for both rural and urban students. Novelty/Originality of this study: There is no investigation on waste management, in both rural and urban schools. Considering waste is one of the main problems in the world today, so the results of investigations can be useful in reducing waste through education.
