<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently searching for information related to the forces that tree roots exert. The goal of my research on this topic is to work with an engineering firm to analyse these forces to inform building requirements in Surrey in order
to give builders the specifications they need to install driveways and walkways that can better withstand the forces that tree roots exert. The hope is that properly built driveways and walkways will then have fewer root heave problems in the future as our
urban forest matures.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you happen to have any research at your fingertips on this topic? Or any suggestions to direct my search?<o:p></o:p></p>
