The article studies the reiterated homogenization of linear elliptic variational inequalities arising in problems with unilateral constrains. We assume that the coefficients of the equations satisfy and abstract hypothesis covering on each scale a large set of concrete deterministic behavior such as the periodic, the almost periodic, the convergence at infinity. Using the multi-scale convergence method, we derive a homogenization result whose limit problem is of the same type as the problem with rapidly oscillating coefficients.
