A masonry beam is more often called a "bond beam." This is where a block is cut or manufactured with a slot to lay down one or two pieces of rebar down inside the block horizontally. The blocks are filled with grout and this adds horizontal strength to the wall by tying the vertical cells that are filled with grout to the horizontal cells that are filled with grout, creating a grid making the wall much stronger.

According to my dictionary, masonry is stone. I believe 'mud brick' would technically be adobe rather than masonry.
Masonry cement is basically normal Portland cement with added ingredients to provide the plasticity required for masonry work. Masonry cements are pre-packaged primarily as either Type N Masonry Cement or Type S Masonry Cement. Other types are available for specific circumstances. Type N Masonry mortar is recommended for general use in building non-load bearing walls as well as for exterior veneer walls not requiring high strength. Type S Masonry mortar is recommended for use in all masonry below grade as well as in building exterior load bearing walls requiring high strength. DO NOT use masonry cement for concrete jobs

Masonry construction uses materials like bricks or stones stacked together, providing strength and durability. Frame construction uses a skeleton of wooden or metal beams, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Masonry is heavier and more fire-resistant, while frame construction is lighter and easier to modify.

The most common types of masonry units are brick, concrete masonry units, and stone.
Masonry refers to solid brick or stone construction, while masonry veneer is a thin layer of brick or stone applied to a different material. In terms of construction, masonry is more structurally sound and durable than masonry veneer. Masonry can withstand greater loads and is more resistant to weathering and wear over time.
Masonry brick is purely composed of clay.
