Another milestone for circular housing innovation!ย โป๏ธ
The first experimental campaigns assessing decoupled masonry infill systems for the 3R Pilot House have been successfully completed with the support ofย SDA-engineering GmbH, and a generous donation ofย REGUPOLย recycled rubber INODIS strips.

A beamโinfill interface composed of reused steel elements, rubber layers, and reused bricks was tested under seismic loading.
The results confirmed:
โ ย Sufficient shear strength
โ ย High deformation capacity
โ ย Ability to withstand very strong seismic actions
โ ย Improved damage mitigation

The second campaign evaluated whether masonry infill can be mounted and later demounted within the precast frame system.

๐ย The infill can be effectively disassembled and reassembled without structural damage – validating the concept of decoupled, reusable masonry systems in circular precast housing.
