[...] Terzaghi aussi appelé Standard Penetration Test est une série de mesures faites au moment du prélèvement d'un échantillon intact destiné au laboratoire. L'essai consiste à enfoncer, par «battage au fond d'un sondage» bien nettoyé, un carottier spécial. Après avoir enfoncé de six pouces ce carottier on compte le nombre de coups de mouton nécessaires pour un enfoncement supplémentaire d'un pied. Ce chiffre caractérise la compacité du sol. 3, record 2, French, - Standard%20Penetration%20Test
