Structural cells that are placed beneath hardscape. The cells are strong enough to structurally support the hardscape, effectively bearing its weight along with the weight of any load it carries. Furthermore, even though the cells are strong enough to offer structural support of a hardscape, the cells are also designed to be relatively lightweight, stackable, and open, allowing approximately 90% of their volume, or more, to be free volume that can contain uncompacted soil, tree roots, and the like. The cells achieve these attributes through a design that includes a flexible bottom frame, and support members. These support members have a cross-sectional shape that allows for axial rigidity while also preventing any interlocking between support members when cells are stacked. In one embodiment, this cross-sectional shape is a generally quadrifoil shape.

La présente invention concerne des cellules structurelles disposées sous un aménagement. Les cellules sont suffisamment fortes pour pouvoir soutenir structurellement l'aménagement, supportant efficacement le poids de ce dernier ainsi que celui de toute charge qu'il porte. En outre, tout en étant suffisamment fortes pour offrir un support structurel de l'aménagement, les cellules sont également conçues pour être relativement légères, empilables et ouvertes, ce qui permet à environ 90 % de leur volume ou plus d'être un volume libre capable de contenir de la terre, des racines et autres éléments non compactés. Ces attributs des cellules sont obtenus grâce à une conception comprenant un cadre inférieur flexible et des éléments support. Ces éléments support possèdent une forme transversale qui offre une rigidité axiale tout en empêchant tout verrouillage entre les éléments support lorsque les cellules sont empilées. Dans un mode de réalisation, cette forme transversale est généralement carrée.
