Abstract: The paper looks at a novel structural solution to sidewalks. The proposed system consists of a box element as a substructure and a concrete slab with openings for rainwater infiltration. Such a design will make the sidewalk comfortable for pedestrians with motor impairments, friendly for urban tree root systems and durable. The article provides stress and strain calculations for the variants of the new design. We used the finite element method for the analysis. The results confirm that the proposed variants meet the assumed strength criteria and can therefore be used in the next research steps, that is, permeability tests, rain-water retention simulations, laboratory testing.
