The author considers a family of linearly elastic shells, all having the same middle surface that is assumed to be elliptic. Under some regularity assumptions on the data, the author gives an error estimate between the solution of Koiter's model and the solution of a two-dimensional membrane shell problem. The proof uses a corrector method.
