Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / SPT
Portuguese term or phrase: rebatimento
Nos gráficos o símbolo F significa que aparece o fenômeno de rebatimento no teste.

Description of procedure for SPT (soils). Note: Portuguese text written by a Chinese person so sometimes some oddities appear! Maybe I'm being unfair - or stupid - but I cannot find rebatimento in connection with SPT. I know there are other instances of rebatimento in Kudoz, but with the possible exception of reverberation, I can't make them fit. Thanks.
