We state a general theorem of convergence for integral functionals on a space of measures. This is done thanks to a representation result for convex functionals F: $${\mathcal M}^ b\to [0,+\infty]$$ which are lower semicontinuous with respect to the weak topology $$\sigma$$ ($${\mathcal M}^ b,b_ 0)$$ and satisfy the additivity condition $$F(\lambda_ 1+\lambda_ 2)=F(\lambda_ 1)+F(\lambda_ 2)$$ whenever $$\lambda_ 1\perp \lambda_ 2$$. Some duality arguments are developed in order to compute the limits and examples are detailed in relation with mechanics (reinforcement problems, fissured elastic bodies...).
