geotechnical report
Hola!
I am having difficulty translating this term, taken from a geotechnical report on the construction of a kiosk and swimming pool.
The term appears in the dynamic penetration results section of the report, as follows (underneath the chart):
Las penetraciones dinámicas han sido llevados a cabo con el penetrómetro tipo Borros.
Básicamente consiste en hincar en el suelo, mediante golpes, con ayuda de una maza de 65 kg unas barras metálicas de 32 mm de diámetro precedidas de una puntaza.
La altura de caída de la maza es de 50 cm.
La puntaza mide 20 cm de largo, es de sección cuadrada (4x4 cm), terminada en pirámide con ángulo de ataque de 90s
Los resultados de estos ensayos se representan mediante gráficos que dan, en función de la profundidad que alcanza la puntaza, el número de golpes N20 que corresponde a una longitud de penetración de 20,00 cm.
Estos diagramas se incluyen en anejo no. 3.
A continuación se exponen los resultados obtenidos correlacionados "a grosso" modo con los niveles del subsuelo.

N20 = 10 N20 > 30 -R
R: Rechazo
So far, I have come up with two possibile translations: rejection, unnacceptable or penetration blow per set.
I hope someone can help!
Gracias!

In a SPT, the number of blows needed to penetrate 150mm into the ground are counted and recorded. If a defined maximum (usually 50 or 60), is reached, "refusal" is given as a result for the interval.

I've found that a South American (Chilean) use of "rechazo" translates as "tailing" in the context of mining.
The OED defined tailing as: n. 1 the residue of something, especially ore 2. the part of a beam or projecting brick or stone embedded in a wall
The second definition sounds like it might be in the right context for your text.

Sorry for putting this twice, but I entered my answer into the wrong box the first time :)

: Timo, I am afraid "tailing" is wrong in this specific context (penetration test)
