rebars
Steel concrete bones
Rebars are reinforcing bars—ridged steel rods embedded in concrete to increase tensile strength.
The ridges help the rebar grip the concrete.
You'll see rebars protruding from construction sites before concrete is poured: The foundation was a grid of rebars waiting for cement.
Singular: rebar.
