Reinforcing bar, commonly known as “rebar,” comes in the form of mesh, wires, or bars, and is designed to strengthen concrete under tension. Together, rebar and concrete work to resist tensile forces and increase the utility of a structure. Steel also has a higher embodied carbon footprint (by weight) compared to concrete.
