Structural system e.g. for foundation near growing tree roots

摘要

The structural system comprises a series of steel and concrete components (31,32,50,60), joined by vertical rods (10) passing through holes (23). The components are laid between the excavated tree roots, leaving room for them to grow, and are set on solid surfaces at different levels. After back-filling with soil the structure is covered by a grille (2). The components are in the form of straight and curved blocks of different lengths, varying from 16 to 224 cm.
