English translation:free swell test / free swell index
Explanation:
"El índice de expansión libre se define como el aumento de volumen que sufre un suelo sin restricciones externas, cuando se sumerge en agua; esta es la definición El índice de expansión libre se define como el aumento de volumen que sufre un suelo sin restricciones externas, cuando se sumerge en agua; esta es la definición que brinda la norma INVIAS 132-13, por la que se determina este índice en suelos expansivos en Colombia...
Obtenidas las lecturas de datos se procede con los cálculos para obtener el índice de expansión libre (IEL), este índice se obtiene por medio de la siguiente ecuación:

𝐼𝐸𝐿 = 𝑉𝑤 − 𝑉𝑘 ∗ 100
---------
𝑉𝑘

Ecuación 2.
Índice de expansión Libre Dónde:
Vw= Volumen de la muestra leído de la probeta que contiene agua.
Vk= Volumen de la muestra leído de la probeta que contiene kerosene."

"Free Swell Index is the increase in volume of a soil, without any external
constraints, on submergence in water.

CALCULATIONS
Vd - Vk
Free Swell Index, (%) = ---------- x 100
Vk

Vd = Volume of the soil specimen read from the graduated cylinder containing
distilled water.
Vk = Volume of the soil specimen read from the graduated cylinder containing
kerosene."
