The way I read this, it can penetrate 61 m of concrete rated to withstand 34 MPa of pressure, and only 7.9 m of concrete rated for 69 MPa of pressure. That is, assuming my understanding about grading of concrete is correct. So a doubling of compression strength reduces penetration by a factor of ten

I don't think you're reading this right. Regardless of the accuracy of the data i.e. is the 200 ft datum the actual number, the two values simply state that the penetration is greater with concrete of lower comppressive strength. And btw, five thousand psi concrete is not particularly hard. Clearly

I was a civil engineer, for me it's unbelievable to penetrate 200 ft of this REINFORCED concrete. REINFORCED means with a lot of steel bars. Thank you for taking time to read this. Joël Deshaies. --

when doubling the concrete's comppressive strength, the penetration is greatly reduced.

According to this figures, the harder the concrete is, the easier it is to penetrate it.
