Rebar means steel reinforcement bars. Concrete is
one of the most important construction material
that is sufficiently strong in compression, but weak
in tension.
Hence, concrete is reinforced with steel, because it
has good tensile strength and bond between steel
and concrete is also good.
The steel bars that are incorporated/reinforced in
concrete to impart tensile strength into concrete
are known as steel rebars.
Steel bars are used as rebars because elongation
of steel due to high temperatures (thermal
expansion coefficient) nearly equals to that of
concrete.
