description: Micro-polar and second order homogenization procedures for periodic elastic  masonry are implemented to include geometric and material length scales in the constitutive  equation. By the solution of the RVE equilibrium problems with properly prescribed boundary  conditions the orthotropic elastic moduli of the higher order continua are obtained on the basis of  an enhanced Hill–Mandel condition. A shear layer problem is analysed and the results from the  heterogeneous models are compared with those ones obtained by the homogenization procedures;  the second-order homogenization appears to provide better results in comparison to the micropolar  homogenization
