Process-oriented assessment and improvement of e-learning using e-learning Maturity Model (eMM) in higher education
The growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) stimulates the use of internet in the education sector; thus it is important for educational institutions to start to prioritize and invest in the use of internet in Teaching-Learning process, such as e-learning. The implementation of e-learning in Telkom Bandung Vocational School aims to support the institution’s vision in becoming the leader in ICT field. However, the institution has never conducted a measurement upon the implementation of e-learning so it is necessary to conduct an assessment that can measure the maturity level which reveals processes that have been running within the institution. The purpose of this research is to determine the maturity level of e-learning capability of the institution in achieving its vision using e-Learning Maturity Model (eMM), focusing on the area of Learning process. Furthermore, it shows a roadmap of how the quality of e-learning activities at Telkom Bandung Vocational School can be improved.

Seismic retrofitting of existing reinforced concrete building
It is commonly observed that many RC Building collapses during an earthquake are those building which is non –engineered or those RC Buildings which are not constructed as per codal provisions. Some of such buildings have deficiencies in whole structure or individual structural members which don’t have the adequate lateral capacity to counter the seismic demand. Before retrofitting of structure it is required to perform necessary assessments and evaluations of structural member or location deficiencies are found. In this case study, a G+3 storey RC Building is considered for seismic analysis which is located in the zone –IV to calculate the additional seismic strength of structural members like beams and columns. Based on this analysis retrofitting measures are suggested. This analysis is performed by using Stad pro-V8i software. The recommendations are based on IS – 15988, IS – 1893, IS – 13920 and FEMA codes provisions. The method adopted for seismic retrofitting of structures is RC Jacketing.

Road quality analyser
The condition index (cracking index) is one regular metric used by many countries to measure their road quality and justify the budget spent every year on the road repair. These decisions are dependent on the evaluation criteria that are subjective but not representative. In this paper, we confer about our initial approaches to solve the problem of data asymmetry in decision-making about the road quality. The proposed work explains the process of determining road-defects using data collected by the Road Quality Analyser (RQA). A web-based interactive user interface to host a large amount of data collected by the device RQA towards digitizing the process of road quality inspection. This approach of combining data and device for the assessment of road, which enables the government to make accurate decisions on road repairs and it will lead to an anticipative response which will result in significant cost saving.

A review on geology, geomorphology, origin and textural analysis of red sediments of east coast Visakhapatnam
Red sediments are of a unique feature that exists in the east coast near Visakhapatnam. The Origin has been debated for over the years, most accepted is formed by the denudational remnants of a great sandbank of Pliocene times or isolated banks formed around sunken hills. Red sediments are formed by the cumulative work of wind and running water, where the red colour pigment is being preserved by the digenetic breakdown of iron-bearing minerals. Iron oxides derived from the red soils in the sources area (Khondalite terrain). Favorable environmental conditions for the preservation of the pigment in the depositional basin. The colour of the red sediments is mostly moderate reddish brown and moderate red. Moderate yellowish brown and dark reddish brown sediments are occurring in certain parts of Visakhapatnam region. The upland soils are pale reddish brown to moderate reddish brown. Many geomorphic features are observed like gullies, buried channels, Lineaments, beach ridges, sand dunes, wave-cut terrace, knick points and waterfalls, yellow sand unit, reddish-brown concretion bearing sand unit, brick-red sand unit, light yellow sand unit, duricrust, and pebble beds. Textural analysis has been made in these areas; results show that these are originated from under fluvial environment.
