neutral  Didier Fourcot: Le lien p66 est pour une bêche d'ancrage d'armatures scellée définitivement dans le béton pour transmettre des efforts horizontaux, rien à voir avec l'outil à main de la 2e référence

faites descendre/vibrez le béton avec une bèche


Explanation:
"HAND METHODS

5-50. Manual consolidation methods require spades, puddling sticks, or various types of tampers. To consolidate concrete by spading insert the spade downward along the inside surface of the forms, as shown in Figure 5-15 below, through the layer just placed into the layer underneath several inches. Continue spading or puddling until the CA disappears into the concrete."



" All concrete should be well consolidated. For small flatwork jobs, pay particular attention to the edges of the forms by tamping the concrete with a spade or piece of wood. For large flatwork jobs, consolidation is usually accomplished by using a vibrating screed or internal vibrator."

serrer


Explanation:
Techniquement c'est le terme: serrer le béton dans le coffrage:
http://www.infociments.fr/betons/mise-en-oeuvre-chantier
l'outil peut être effectivement une bêche, mais aussi couramment avec des barres d'armature ou en moins artisanal avec des aiguilles ou des plateaux vibrants qui peuvent avoir un effet de ségrégation en cas d'usage excessif
