  • Chapter 3 Ground Survey
    Chapter 3 Ground Survey Chapter 3 Ground Survey 3.1 Drilling, Laboratory Tests The outline of the lithologic structure in Yerevan can be understood by the geological maps and the collected drilling database, which contains 5,094 logs; however, the data concerning the S wave velocity for the amplification analysis and the soil properties for the liquefaction analysis are not enough. To collect these data, 10 drillings were newly conducted in Yerevan and several tests were conducted using these boreholes. The quantities of the tests are shown in Table 3.1-1. Table 3.1-1 Quantities of Tests Category Quantities Drilling 30m x 10 Groundwater Level Measurement 10 Standard Penetration Test 129 Disturbed Soil Sampling 116 Laboratory Test 116 The drilling points are mainly set to the area where the Quaternary deposits cover because it is effective for the amplification of the earthquake motion by the ground and liquefaction potential. The geologic condition of Yerevan was estimated as follows from the existing information. The rock layer may be shallow in the northern area and the soft soils cover the southern area. Therefore, the selected newly boring points locate in the south of Yerevan city (Figure 3.1-1). The surface soils of each drilling points are shown in Table 3.1-1. The drilling logs are shown in Data Book. The example of drilling log is shown in Figure 3.1-1. 3-1 Final Report Vol. II Main Report 1 Figure 3.1-1 Location of drilling points Table 3.1-2 Surface geology of the drilling points Quaternary layer Symbol Age No.

  • Tertiary Education in Armenia
    Armenia TERTIARY EDUCATION SABER Country Report Public Disclosure Authorized October 2019 Executive Summary Status 1. Strategy for Tertiary Education At present, there is no strategic plan document for the higher education sector in Armenia. The government’s objectives for the sector were briefly highlighted in the government program approved in February 2019. An action plan of the government program was developed and approved in May 2019. The new government is planning to draft a strategic plan for the sector in the near future. 2. Governance of Systems and Institutions The regulatory framework does not generate a level-playing field. Private universities and cross-border institutions have considerably more autonomy as compared to public universities, particularly with regard to governance and financial Public Disclosure Authorized matters. The regulatory framework includes some provisions to improve meritocratic human resource practices and horizontal governance practices, but they primarily apply to public universities. The Government of Armenia has developed an anti-corruption strategy, but it is not perceived to be effective. 3. Financing There is a stable funding mechanism for public universities. It is transparent but is considered outdated. Performance-based funding is currently not used, although the government is considering its introduction in the near future. Universities can receive some competitive funding for education, research and innovation. 4. Quality Assurance There is a quality assurance and accreditation agency (the National Center for Professional Education Quality Assurance or ANQA), but at present it mainly covers the public-sector universities. ANQA has developed quality assurance standards, which are currently being implemented by the institutions. There are consequences for noncompliance with accreditation Public Disclosure Authorized criteria for public universities, while some cross-border institutions operate without accreditation.
