At Circ-Boost, we celebrate innovations that combine sustainability with safety. The INODIS system is a great example of how recycled materials can protect both buildings and lives.
Developed in collaboration between the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Civil Engineering and RWTH Aachen University, this system uses recycled rubber to absorb seismic forces and reduce damage to walls and structures.
In reinforced concrete buildings, masonry infill walls are often considered “non-structural” – yet in reality, they are among the first to fail during earthquakes. This can cause severe damage, high repair costs, and significant disruption to people’s daily lives.
Recognising this issue, insurance companies initiated the development of a new technology within international scientific projects. The result: INODIS – an innovative elastic wall-to-structure connection system that increases buildings’ earthquake resistance.
The solution was developed by our Dr. Marko Marinkovic (University of Belgrade, Faculty of Civil Engineering) in cooperation with Christoph Butenweg (RWTH Aachen University, Germany).
