For two soils subjected to “no,” “moderate,” or “severe” compaction, Figure 5.15 shows the volume fraction (cm3 /cm3 ) of pores in three size classes. The symbol ◀ indicates the volume fraction of water, uv (cm3 /cm3 ), in each soil. The figure indicates that uv ≈ 0.35 for the uncompacted clay loam (bulk density = 0.75 g/cm3 ). Show a complete calculation (with all units) to demonstrate that ◀ in the figure correctly indicates that uv ≈ 0.36 for the severely compacted sandy loam (bulk density = 1.10 g/cm3 )
