The objective of the present Note is to estimate the equivalent torsion rigidity modulus for a cylinder whose cross-section
Σ exhibits a periodical distribution of porous zones
ΣP. Taking into account a second, finer, periodical distribution of pores in
ΣP, we have to use the homogenization method in a biperiodical context. However, the contrast of scales at the interfaces between
ΣP and the compact part

Σ, requires some subtle fitting up of this method. Finally, we point out the existence of boundary layers around the interfaces
∂ΣP and we estimate the weakening of the torque rigidness.
