rebar
Steel mesh reinforcement
Rebar is steel reinforcing bar embedded in concrete to increase tensile strength.
The ribbed rods form a skeleton within poured concrete, preventing cracking under stress.
Construction crews lay rebar grids before pouring foundations, walls, and bridge decks: The foundation crew spent two days tying rebar before the pour.
