[Les pénétromètres à cône fixe.] Il est (...) recommandé d'effectuer une mesure de la résistance en pointe tous les 20 ou 25 cm, et de la force globale de fonçage tous les 20, 25 ou 50 cm. Ces mesures sont lues sur les manomètres qui équipent les vérins de fonçage, ou encore sur l'anneau dynamométrique. 2, record 1, French, - anneau%20dynamom%C3%A9trique
