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!

HTH. Dynamic probing test may suffice. The Dynamic Probing test is used to determine the resistance of soils in situ to the intermittent penetration of a cone, driven dynamically in a standard manner and in accordance to B.S. 1377: Part 9.

dynamic cone penetrometer test

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.
