Abstract

Though rigorous mathematical arguments of variational convergence we identify the macroscopic behaviour of a flat wall made of a periodic distribution of blocks linked by a mortar of small stiffness. This asymptotic behaviour depends strongly on the relative behaviour of the parameters describing the masonry. We confine to a two-dimensional analysis in the framework of linearized elasticity.
