What rebar means
Rebar is ribbed steel bar set in concrete or grouted masonry to carry tension and hold cracks together.
Also called reinforcing bar.
Where it matters on a concrete job
Footings, foundation walls and thick slabs usually need rebar per the plans or the code. Chairs to hold it at the right height matter; rebar lying on the dirt does little.
