Described is a laminate, including a stack of mutually bonded adhesive layers and metal sheets. The laminate includes abutting and/or overlapping metal sheet edges that extend along a length direction within a splicing region. A splice strap is connected to the laminate at an outer surface of the laminate across said splicing region. The splice strap includes one layer of fiber-reinforced adhesive or of metal sheet, or stacked layers of fiber-reinforced adhesive and/or metal sheets. A widest splice strap layer is connected to the laminate over a transverse distance of at least 5 times the widest strap layer thickness, and the widest strap layer has a lower bending stiffness than the bending stiffness of one of the spliced metal sheets.
