[0023] Specifically, such as Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 As shown, the breathable paving structure includes keel 2 set around the trunk 1 of the ancient tree, an elevated layer set under the keel 2, and a board 13 laid on the keel 2. The keel 2 is made of square galvanized steel pipes spaced 40-80cm apart and arranged in an alternating pattern. The center of the keel 2 is a circle with a diameter of 100-200cm. The elevated layer includes foundation columns 3 set at intervals below the ground 15, pre-embedded iron 4 partially embedded in the top of the foundation columns 3, and support columns 6 connecting the pre-embedded iron 4 and the keel 2. The foundation columns 3 are PVC pipes poured with concrete of C20 strength or higher. The pre-embedded iron 4 is wrapped with... It consists of four L-shaped pre-embedded claws 5 and a square top surface. The pre-embedded claws 5 are located inside the top of the foundation column 3, and the square top surface is located outside the top of the foundation column 3. A culvert is provided in the elevated layer downstream of the site drainage slope. A U-shaped resin drainage channel 7 is provided in the culvert. The U-shaped resin drainage channel 7 is covered with a stainless steel rain grate 8. The culvert is connected to a collection well or municipal drainage system 11 through a drainage pipe 10. A stainless steel shaped grate 9 is provided at the pipe opening of the drainage pipe 10. The surface of the elevated layer area has a drainage slope of 0.5% to 1% towards the culvert 12.
[0024] Board 13 is made of lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant, and weather-resistant materials. Examples include common solid wood boards, wood-plastic composite boards, and inorganic materials. Board 13 has a width of 10–20 cm and a thickness of 2–6 cm. Fig. 3 As shown, there are gaps of 0.3 to 0.5 cm between the boards 13.
[0025] Keel 2 uses square galvanized steel pipes as the keel material for the paving, ensuring a stable installation that does not collapse or tilt. The square galvanized steel pipes are 3-5cm high, 5-8cm wide, and have a wall thickness of 0.2cm or more. Keel 2 is spaced 40-80cm apart, arranged in a staggered pattern, with a circular tree pit (100-200cm in diameter) at the center, depending on the size of the ancient tree. The central keel is circular.
[0026] The overhead layer is composed of foundation column 3, embedded iron 4, and support column 6. The foundation column 3 is mainly composed of a PVC pipe, preferably, the height of the PVC pipe is 30-50 cm, the diameter is 15-30 cm, and the wall thickness is 2-4 mm. The PVC pipe is poured with C20 strength or above concrete. The embedded iron 4 is composed of four L-shaped embedded claws 5 and a square top surface with a side length of 8-10 cm, and is embedded at the top of the foundation column 3. The support column 6 is a square galvanized steel pipe with a height of 5-8 cm, a width of 5-8 cm, a wall thickness of 0.2-0.5 cm, and a length of 15-25 cm, and is welded at one end to the embedded iron 4 and at the other end to the keel 2. The foundation column 3 and the embedded iron 4 are below the ground surface 15, and the support column 6 is above the ground surface 15 to form an overhead layer. The ground surface in the overhead layer area is provided with a drainage slope inclined to the direction of the underground ditch 12 by 0.5%-1%, facilitating the natural flow of rainwater. The overhead layer provides a space for air communication and drainage for the ancient trees, ensuring the natural flow of air and water, promoting soil respiration and drainage.
[0027] As shown in Fig. 2 The underground ditch is arranged in the overhead layer below the board 13 and the keel 2, and the position of the underground ditch is arranged downstream of the site drainage slope according to the terrain, facilitating the collection of rainwater. The width of the underground ditch is 20-30 cm, and the depth is 25-40 cm, which can be adjusted according to actual needs. A U-shaped resin drainage groove 7 is arranged in the underground ditch, and the thickness of the U-shaped resin drainage groove 7 is 2 mm. The inner wall of the U-shaped resin drainage groove 7 is smooth, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. A stainless steel rainwater grate 8 is arranged on the U-shaped resin drainage groove 7 to prevent large particles from blocking. The underground ditch is connected to a water collecting well or a municipal drainage system 11 through a 10-20 cm diameter PVC drainage pipe 10, and a stainless steel special-shaped grate 9 is arranged at the pipe opening to prevent large particles from blocking the drainage opening and ensure that the accumulated water is quickly drained.
[0028] Further, the air-permeable pavement structure further comprises a modified soil layer filled in the vertical projection area of the ancient tree canopy. The soil improvement layer is filled with improved soil with good loose, air-permeable, and water-retaining properties, and a proper amount of organic fertilizer and microbial agent is added to the soil to improve soil fertility and microbial activity, thereby promoting the growth of ancient tree roots.
[0029] Specifically, the modified soil layer is a 20-30 cm thick layer of soil below the ground surface, which is improved by loosening the compacted soil by spade. After loosening the soil, improved materials with good loose, air-permeable, and water-retaining properties, such as grass charcoal soil, perlite, and vermiculite, are filled in the soil to improve the nutrient content of the soil and increase the water permeability and air permeability. In addition, a proper amount of organic fertilizer and microbial agent is added to improve soil fertility and microbial activity, thereby promoting the growth of ancient tree roots.
[0030] The breathable paving structure of the utility model effectively alleviates the influence of ground hard paving on the growth of the root system of the ancient tree, increases the water permeability and air permeability of the soil, ensures that there is no water accumulation around the ancient tree through the drainage system, and reduces the risk of root decay.
[0031] The paving is parallel to the ground, which maintains the flatness of the landscape.
[0032] The optimal material has excellent physical properties and environmental protection characteristics, which reduces the long-term maintenance cost of the paving.
[0033] The utility model not only protects the ancient tree, but also improves the overall aesthetic and functionality of the landscape, and realizes the harmonious unity of ecology and humanity.
[0034] Further, the construction of the breathable paving structure for improving the growth environment of the ancient tree can be carried out according to the following steps:
[0035] 1. Foundation column prefabrication: PVC pipe internal casting C20 concrete, placing embedded iron in the top center, starting water curing within 3-4 hours after final setting, which should be carried out according to local climate conditions and the type of cement used, and the duration is generally 21 to 28 days.
[0036] 2. After cleaning the site, arrange the ground surface to have a slope of 0.5% to 1%.
[0037] 3. Excavate the drainage ditch and place the U-shaped resin drainage groove, set the stainless steel grate on the U-shaped resin drainage groove to prevent large particles from blocking.
[0038] 4. Foundation column installation: interval keel layout support column point position, pay attention to avoid the root system of the ancient tree.
[0039] 5. Keel installation: cross keel according to the size of the ancient tree, the center is set to 100-200cm diameter circular tree pool, the keel is circular. Array keel to both sides, the interval is 40-80cm, the cross position coincides with the foundation column.
[0040] 6. Welding: weld the support column with the embedded iron, and weld the keel with the support column.
