[0017] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] The present invention provides a breathable paving structure for the root zone of trees, such as Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the breathable paving structure includes a geotextile 5, a hollow breathable layer 6, and a prefabricated cover plate 7 which are sequentially arranged on the original soil layer 4 from bottom to top. The prefabricated cover plate 7 is supported and fixed by a plurality of support seats 8 arranged at intervals. The support seats 8 are arranged at the splicing position of the prefabricated cover plate 7. The support seats 8 include a first foundation column 3 vertically arranged in the original soil layer 4, a second foundation layer 2 arranged in the lower outer layer of the first foundation column 3, and a connecting pin 1 vertically arranged at the top to connect and fix the prefabricated cover plate 7. The first foundation column 3 includes a lower cylinder and a T-stage column at the head. The first foundation column 3 is C30 The reinforced concrete column is configured with a strength grade. The first foundation column 3 uses C12 steel bars that are penetrated and arranged in the cylinder and the T-stage column. The second foundation layer 2 is a crushed stone layer with a diameter of 20 to 30 mm. The prefabricated cover plate 7 includes a steel mesh 9, a concrete layer 10 cast on the steel mesh 9, air holes 11 that are penetrated and arranged in the concrete layer 10, and a positioning hole corresponding to the position of the connecting pin 1. The connecting pin 1 is positioned through the positioning hole. The positioning hole is self-filled with a self-compacting grouting material 14. The hollow air-permeable layer 6 is paved with a plurality of air-permeable bricks spliced together, and the air-permeable bricks are provided with through holes.
[0020] The support seat 8 is a key component of the breathable paving structure, which mainly plays the role of supporting and fixing the prefabricated cover plate. Figure 2 As shown, the support seat 8 is composed of the following main elements:
[0021] Connect pin 1:
[0022] Material: Made of C20 steel bars to ensure sufficient bearing capacity and durability.
[0023] Function: The connecting pin is used to firmly fix the prefabricated cover plate on the support base to prevent it from displacement or loosening.
[0024] Second base layer 2:
[0025] Materials: Choose gravel particles that meet the standards, with a diameter between 20 and 30 mm.
[0026] Function: The gravel layer is located at the base of the support seat, and plays the role of drainage, ventilation and enhancing foundation stability.
[0027] First foundation column 3:
[0028] Material: Concrete with strength grade C30.
[0029] Function: Concrete is the main load-bearing material of the support seat. It wraps the gravel layer and fixes the connecting pins to form a stable structural system.
[0030] The prefabricated cover plate 7 is another important component of the breathable paving structure, which is directly laid on the support base 8 to form a continuous paving surface. Figure 3 As shown, the prefabricated cover plate 7 is composed of the following main elements:
[0031] Steel mesh 9:
[0032] Materials: 6mm diameter steel bars, woven into a mesh at 100mm intervals.
[0033] Function: The steel mesh 9 enhances the overall rigidity and bearing capacity of the prefabricated cover plate 7, preventing it from cracking or being damaged due to excessive stress.
[0034] Breathable holes 11:
[0035] Shape and size: Round hole, 50 mm diameter.
[0036] Function: The provision of the ventilation holes 11 is conducive to ventilation and drainage, while reducing the weight of the prefabricated cover plate 7, making it easier to carry and install.
[0037] Concrete layer 10:
[0038] Material: Concrete with strength grade C30.
[0039] Function: Concrete fills the space formed by the steel mesh to form a strong and durable prefabricated cover.
[0040] Preferably, when the prefabricated cover plate 7 is set in the pedestrian area, the thickness is 80 mm, and the steel mesh 9 is set at a position 25 mm away from the bottom surface of the concrete layer 10; when the prefabricated cover plate 7 is set in the vehicle area, the thickness is 150 mm, and the steel mesh 9 is set at a position 25 mm away from the bottom surface of the concrete layer 10.
[0041] Furthermore, a positioning hole corresponding to the position of the connecting pin 1 is provided on the prefabricated cover plate 7, and the connecting pin 1 is positioned through the positioning hole. The positioning hole is self-filled with a self-compacting grouting material 14, and the self-compacting grouting material 14 is of C40 grade and is used to fill and reinforce gaps and cracks in the structure to improve the stability and durability of the overall structure.
[0042] The first foundation column 3 includes a lower cylinder and a T-stage column at the head. The first foundation column 3 is a reinforced concrete column with a strength grade of C30. C12 steel bars are used to penetrate the cylinder and the T-stage column in the first foundation column 3. C12 steel bars and C30 reinforced concrete columns with a diameter of 100 mm are used as cylinders and T-stage columns. These high-strength materials can be used to build stronger support columns or structural columns to meet the needs of specific application scenarios.
[0043] The soil base layer 4 is the original soil that has been properly processed to achieve the required density and bearing capacity. It serves as the base layer of the pavement structure and provides stable support for the entire structure. The hollow breathable layer 6 is composed of a plurality of breathable bricks spliced together, and the breathable bricks are provided with through holes. The hollow breathable layer 6 is not only beautiful, but more importantly, it has good air permeability and drainage performance, which is conducive to the growth of trees and the maintenance of the ground. The hollow breathable layer 6 reserves an appropriate hollow area in the pavement structure to enhance the air permeability. The proportion of its reserved area should not exceed 20% of the total pavement area (that is, for a pavement with a total area of T square meters, the reserved area of the hollow breathable layer should not exceed 0.2*T square meters), and in any case, the maximum area of a single reserved area should not exceed 200 square meters to avoid excessive local size affecting the stability and functionality of the overall structure.
[0044] Preferably, a dry hard ash bonding layer 12 and a surface layer 13 are sequentially laid on the prefabricated cover plate 7. The dry hard ash bonding layer 12 is a cement mortar layer, which is mainly made of cement, sand and water mixed in a certain proportion, and is laid on the prefabricated cover plate 7. It has high strength and adhesion, can effectively fix the surface layer material, and enhance the overall stability and durability of the paving structure. The surface layer 13 is a wear-resistant and anti-skid material layer, which usually uses materials with good wear resistance and excellent anti-skid performance, such as wear-resistant floor tiles, anti-skid coatings, etc., to provide a comfortable and safe walking surface and protect the underlying structural layer from wear and damage.
[0045] The geotextile 5 is a 200g geotextile layer laid on the soil base 4 to isolate the soil and the paving structure and prevent soil particles from penetrating into the paving layer.
[0046] For precious tree species such as ancient trees and famous trees, the breathable paving structure of the present invention can provide a better growth environment, reduce the risk of death of ancient trees due to soil environment deterioration, and help protect the survival and reproduction of ancient trees and famous trees.
[0047] Taking the renovation of the ancient tree platform in Badachu Park in Beijing as an example, the forestry breathable paving structure of the present invention is used to renovate the ancient tree platform. By laying the breathable paving structure, water-permeable and air-permeable holes or gaps are reserved, and a certain space is left between the paving layer and the soil surface layer to keep the soil permeable and air-permeable. After comparative experiments and tests, as shown in the following table, it is found that the physical and chemical properties of the soil using the paving structure of the present invention are better than those of the soil under the traditional closed paving, which proves the positive effect of the present invention.
[0048]
