Actually concrete is not very good in tension therefore we have to introduce reinforcement which takes care of the tensile stresses. If we don't provide reinforcement, concrete will start showing cracks wherever tensile stresses overcome the concrete tensile strength.

Why do builders put metal rods in concrete?
Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.
Rebars used for?
Rebar are steel rods/bars that are usually combined with concrete to create reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete takes the weakness of each individual material and pairs it with the strength of the other. Reinforced concrete is a highly adaptable material, able to be used in a variety of structures.
What is hybrid fiber reinforced concrete?
The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
What would stay up in a flood concrete or reinforced concrete?
More likely reinforced concrete.
What materials were used to build the Bloukrans Bridge?
Reinforced concrete
What is the advantage and disadvantage of reinforced concrete beam and column?
reinforced concrete prise
What machinery was used to build christ the redeemer?
They used reinforced concrete and soapstone.
How do you make reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.
Define steel reinforced concrete?
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
What are the differences between the mass concrete and reinforced concrete?
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
