520			_aSuspended pavement, also known as cantilevered sidewalks, are structural systems designed to support pedestrian surfaces while providing an underground soil volume that promoted tree root development. the walking surface while creating an underground void filled with soil to promote tree root development. This study investigates the feasibility of using Solignum-treated Bambusa blumeana as a sustainable and robust alternative to polyethylene-based systems like Silva Cells, which are widely used in urban green infrastructures. Following ISO 22157-1 standards, both physical and mechanical properties of treated bamboo were assessed. Treated samples exhibited a moisture content of 12.5% and water absorption of 12.5% compared to 26.67% and 6.67%, respectively, for untreated samples. Mechanical tests using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) revealed an average compressive strength of 64.3 MPa and a prototype load-bearing capacity of 17,900 kg with 13.8 mm displacement, surpassing the 12,506 kg maximum load of Silva Cell 2. These results demonstrate that Solignum-treated bamboo satisfies structural requirements for suspended pavement applications, offering a durable, eco-friendly material that enhances urban tree growth and supports sustainable stormwater management.
