Portuguese term or phrase: sondagem a penetrômico dinâmico
This is the heading over a chart that seems to show values of kg/cm2 charted against depth.

Google isn't very forthcoming about "penetrômico dinâmico". Thanks in advance!

dynamic cone penetrometer test
Explanation:
1. Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) testing is used to measure the strength of in-situ soil and the thickness and location of subsurface soil layers. It is similar to CPT in that a metal cone is advanced into the ground to continuously characterize soil behavior.
2. The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) is used to determine underlying soil strength by measuring the penetration of the device into the soil after each hammer blow. drive the cone on the lower shaft through the underlying pavement layers.
