AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the roots of roadside trees are difficult to grow to the sides due to the compaction of the soil layer under the roadway and sidewalk, resulting in stunted growth of roadside trees.
A structure was designed that includes a side foundation, a road foundation, a planting soil layer, a main beam, an auxiliary beam, a steel mesh, curb stones, and a permeable pavement. The planting soil layer is fixed by the main beam and the steel mesh, the tree pit space is expanded, the stability of the main beam is enhanced by the combination of a tripod, and ventilation holes and drainage ditches are set to ensure the soil layer is breathable and drained.
This expands the root system growth space of roadside trees, ensuring healthy and vigorous root growth, while also enhancing structural stability and preventing pipeline damage, thus achieving healthy growth of roadside trees and normal road use.

Abstract

[0002] Sidewalk refers to the part of the road that is separated by kerb stones or guardrails and other similar facilities for pedestrians. Sidewalks are very common in cities, and there are sidewalks on both sides of the street. In some places, the sidewalk is separated from the motorway by a grassland or a tree. In the countryside, sidewalks are less common. In many developed countries, laws require the removal of all facilities that are not convenient for disabled people to use on sidewalks, so sidewalks are specially lowered to the same level as the road at the crossing to facilitate wheelchair crossing. As an important part of urban roads, sidewalks have evolved from being a dedicated channel for pedestrians to a new role in urban development, playing an important role in traffic management, landscape creation, underground space utilization, and public facilities.
