Steel reinforcement bars, or rebars, are used to improve the tensile strength of concrete, which we all know is important because concrete is weak in tension but strong in compression. The steel reinforcement's tensile property will prevent and minimize concrete cracks under tension loads. Steel is only used as rebar because its elongation at high temperatures is nearly equal to that of concrete.
