In a partially grouted concrete masonry wall, the bed joint reinforcement is provided by a set of rings spaced along the mortar between two adjacent courses of blocks and wire strands on opposite sides of the rings. Each of the grouted cells of the wall is surrounded by reinforcing rings embedded in the mortar. The rings support the columns of grouting in the wall and more effectively transfer loads to the bed joint reinforcement than does conventional truss or ladder style bed joint reinforcement. Between courses where bed joint reinforcement is not used, independent rings may be employed to support the grouting columns.
