English term or phrase: refuse
"penetrometric refuses, obtained at sounding locations are ranging between depths of 2.25 and 7,2 m under the current ground level."

"The piles shall be cramped in H5 penetrometric refuse horizon"

"15 dynamic penetration tests with a NF P 94-115 standard heavy dynamic penetrometer to obtain the resistance sections up to refuse."

J'ai trouvé déblai dans Termium, mais je ne suis pas sûre, j'ai pensé également peut-être à stérile ou halde ?
merci d'avance pour votre aide précieuse

cote / profondeur de refus
Explanation:
refusal (depth) : la profondeur de refus, au-delà de laquelle le cône du pénétromètre ne s'enfonce plus

"Penetration depth less than 1 mm and exceeding 20 blows is considered as
refusal."
http://www.highways.gov.sk.ca/240-20/

" A cone penetrometer uses hydraulic pressure, up to 40,000 pounds, to push a cone-shaped steel device below the surface. Sensors attached to the cone take measurements. Traditional CPT measurements recorded cone-tip pressure and friction and correlated the results with a soil type index. New wireline CPT sensors are interchangeable and detect the presence of contaminants in real time.

"One major concern is the refusal depth, the below-surface level at which the CPT tool cannot penetrate. Refusal depth occurs when the tool cannot travel any farther below the surface. DOE tests indicate the CPT tool has a refusal depth of 151 feet below ground surface whereas conventional systems have a refusal depth of 146 feet below ground surface, making the CPT tool a superior choice for the characterization of site contaminants."
