The paper sets forth the main principles of determining the masonry deformation properties as a mixed modular medium consisting of heterogeneous materials for the purposes of discrete modeling. The formulas are proposed to define the values of deformation characteristics of the masonry materials with account of the stress and strain state specific character under loading.
