Traditional force and acceleration measurements provide valuable data but fail to fully capture the multidimensional movement of SPT components. Therefore, visual measurements of SPT components using a Line-scan and High-Speed Camera (HSC) with target markers have been attempted, but these are limited to 2-dimensional movements. To address these limitations, this study presents a novel HSC system integrated with circular target markings, offering the measurement of movement of SPT component assembly in all three dimensions and Energy Transfer Ratio (ETR). Controlled laboratory SPT tests were conducted to validate the approach. Experiments were carried out for various range of N-values (N = 5 to R), where vertical displacement corresponds to varying soil relative densities (∼15–90 %) and penetration depths (∼60–3 mm) for a consistent ∼60 % input ETR. ETR was estimated using the proposed method and compared with traditional force and acceleration measurements obtained from the SPT Hammer Energy Measurement Apparatus (SPT-HEMA) at both the anvil and sampler levels. The vertical displacement from HSC matched within ± 0.1 mm of manual vernier-caliper measurements. The Comparison reveals strong agreement on displacement, velocity, and ETR values for all penetration resistance. The standard error in ETR values between HSC and SPT-HEMA was below 0.5 %. For the same rod length, lower N-values exhibit longer displacement and ETR durations, while higher N-values show shorter displacement duration and concentrated energy dissipation.

The experiment was conducted on prism specimens which are made up of conventional concrete and E-waste concrete (15 % replacement of natural aggregate by weight with E-waste). Several parameters including chloride penetration, chloride profiles, diffusion coefficient, and surface concentration are determined to understand the effect on chloride profiles. The EMI signatures and statistical parameters such as Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) are determined for qualitative and quantitative analysis of signatures. Further, the equivalent structural parameters such as mass and stiffness were identified to assess the deterioration of concrete in terms of mechanical parameters. Based on the results, it is found that the RMSD value of conventional concrete shows a steady increase in deterioration up to 13 % by day 19 before stabilizing, E-waste concrete experiences a more significant peak deviation of 32.83 % by day 23. E-waste concrete exhibits a more significant initial stiffness loss, dropping from 93.7 kNs/m to 57.48 kNs/m in just 9 days, whereas conventional concrete declines gradually from 21.84 kNs/m to 20.20 kNs/m.

One of the primary factors influencing load sharing is the presence of various types of errors within the system. PGTs are inherently complex mechanical systems that involve numerous types of errors, making it impossible for theoretical models to comprehensively capture all of these errors. Therefore, research often necessitates focusing on certain errors, inevitably leading to limited outcomes. Current research has also emphasized this point. Experimentation is the most effective methodology; however, current experiments have not fully accounted for high-power operating conditions due to experimental costs and methodologies. High power is another important factor affecting load sharing. The load sharing coefficient is used to quantify the degree of load distribution among its components. In response to the aforementioned challenges, this paper proposes a precise measurement methodology for the dynamic load sharing coefficient of PGTs under high-power conditions, taking into account integrated errors within the system. Based on the processing and analysis of a large amount of collected data, the influence of high power (including rotational speed and torque) and the number of planetary gears on the dynamic load sharing coefficient is investigated.
