Abstract

Numerous empirical studies have demonstrated that street trees not only reduce dust pollution and absorb particulate matter (PM) but also improve microclimates, providing both ecological functions and aesthetic value. However, recent research has revealed that street tree canopy cover can impede the dispersion of atmospheric PM within street canyons, leading to the accumulation of street pollutants. Although many studies have investigated the impact of street trees on air pollutant dispersion within street canyons, the extent of their influence remains unclear and uncertain. Pollutant accumulation corresponds to the specific characteristics of individual street canyons, coupled with meteorological factors and pollution source strength. Notably, the characteristics of street tree canopy cover also exert a significant influence. There is still a quantitative research gap on street tree cover impacts with respect to pollution and dust reduction control measures within street spaces. To improve urban traffic environments, policymakers have mainly focused on scientifically based street vegetation deployment initiatives in building ecological garden cities and improving the living environment. To address uncertainties regarding the influence of street trees on the dispersion of atmospheric PM in urban streets, this study reviews dispersion mechanisms and key atmospheric PM factors in urban streets, summarizes the research approaches used to conceptualize atmospheric PM dispersion in urban street canyons, and examines urban plant efficiency in reducing atmospheric PM. Furthermore, we also address current challenges and future directions in this field to provide a more comprehensive understanding of atmospheric PM dispersion in urban streets and the role that street trees play in mitigating air pollution.

Abstract

A reasonable method is proposed to calculate the active earth pressure of finite soils based on the drum deformation mode of the flexible retaining wall close to the basement’s outer wall. The flexible retaining wall with cohesionless sand is studied, and the ultimate failure angle of finite soils close to the basement’s outer wall is obtained using the Coulomb theory. Soil arch theory is led to get the earth pressure coefficient in the subarea using the trace line of minor principal stress of circular arc after stress deflection. The soil layers at the top and bottom part of the retaining wall are restrained when the drum deformation occurs, and the soil layers are in a non-limit state. The linear relationship between the wall movement’s magnitude and the mobilization of the internal friction angle and the wall friction anger is presented. The level layer analysis method is modified to propose the resultant force of active earth pressure, the action point’s height, and the pressure distribution. Model tests are carried out to emulate the process of drum deformation and soil rupture with limited width. Through image analysis, it is found that the failure angle of soil within the limited width is larger than that of infinite soil. With the increase of the aspect ratio, the failure angle gradually reduces and tends to be constant. Compared with the test results, it is showed that the horizontal earth pressure reduces with the reduction of the aspect ratio within critical width, and the resultant force decreases with the increase of the limit state region under the same ratio. The middle part of the distribution curve is concave. The active earth pressure strength decreases less than Coulomb’s value, the upper and lower soil layers are in the non-limit state, and the active earth pressure strength is more than Coulomb’s value.
