Driven to refusal
This is an engineering term for describing how far to drive piles.[1] It is also used in surveying when driving metal posts and monuments that usually mark the corners of properties.
A rod or pile has been "driven to refusal" when five more blows of an adequate hammer will not budge the rod or pile.
