Abstract: Masonry (1) comprising layers (2) of bricks and mortar joints (3), whereby at least one mortar joint (3) is reinforced by a reinforcement strip (4), whereby said strip (4) comprises at least two straight, continuous, substantially parallel, steel reinforcement wires (5), which are welded or glued to each other by means of a steel wire connecting structure (6), characterized in that the wire connecting structure (6) is provided with protuberances (7) protruding from the plane comprising said at least two straight reinforcement wires (5) and forming spacing elements (7) which keep the at least two straight reinforcement wires (5) at a specific distance from the layer (2) of bricks below and/or the layer (2) of bricks above said reinforcement strip (4).
