Fig. 5. The experimental specific volumes, 
'l (asterisks) and l (squares), of an unlimited clay layer including cracks in Bronswijk's approximation and corrected accounting for violation of Assumption 1, respectively; the experimental specific volume, s (circles) of clay samples including cracks, and the specific volume (solid line) of a clay matrix without cracks, predicted from Chertkov (2000b)(2003) for the clay of the 0- to 30-cm depths of Sarid soil, Israel. The specific volumes 'l, s, and are from Chertkov et al. (2004). The maximum standard deviations of all the experimental points are less than 0.01 to 0.02 cm3 g–1. The inclined straight line is 1:1 theoretical one. Figures near the experimental points correspond to the measurement numbers in Table 1.
