Prestressing of damaged masonry structures is among the most effective ways of reconstruction of buildings on undermined areas. Numerical modelling could be used with advantage for design of prestressing tendons as it is shown in this paper. Considering heterogenity and orthotropy of masonry, its modelling is not defined sufficiently. After all, some methods for homogenized properties of masonry could be already applied.
