Rebar is used to strengthen concrete because of its strength and flexibility. In order for these rods to work, there must be ample space between the rebar and the edge of the concrete piece.
you could strengthen it by putting metal bars inside the concrete
Reinforced concrete has reinforcing bars (called rebar) simply embedded in the pour. With prestressed concrete, reinforcing rods or cables are stretched (stressed) and then the concrete is poured around them. After the concrete hardens, the tension on the reinforcing members compresses the concrete, making it more resistant to failure where poor soil conditions or severe loads exist.Prestressed construction is usually done in-plant because of the equipment involved, and the completed assembly shipped to the site for installation.A similar method, called post-tension, is usually done on site, and involves the tensioning of reinforcing cables after the slab is poured, using a special hydraulic jack.
what is the purpose of reinforcing bars in a spread footing
The weight can only be determined if the exact weight of the reinforcement, as well as the exact displacement of the reinforcing is known. Thus the weight should be 1 sq meter x thickness of the concrete minus the exact displacement of the reinforcing, plus the weight of the reinforcing. The weight per cubic meter of concrete is 2450 kg.

Most specifications recommend not heating (annealing) rebar because it can weaken it.

Post tensioning is the prestressing of a concrete member by tensioning the reinforcing tendons after the concrete has set
As I would interpret the question, I would refer to the nature of reinforcing to be placed within the concrete. Often in large beams, the reinforcing steel may be made up separately in "cages" and set in place for the concrete pour. The reinforcing may be comprised of shear, bending, torsional, and specialized support components.
To strengthen a sidewalk, you can add a layer of concrete on top or apply a concrete sealer to protect the surface from damage. Consider using reinforcing materials such as rebar or wire mesh to provide additional support. Regular maintenance, like fixing cracks and addressing drainage issues, can also help prolong the lifespan of the sidewalk.

ensure concrete bonding around the reinforcing steel
IT helps strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking But please note usually the "welded wire mesh" used in concrete is named reinforcing mesh, its wire is ribbed. And the wire of welded wire mesh in industry usually is plain, it used for fence panel, floor heating system and so on. The following are reinforcing mesh and welded wire mesh link. dingzhenfence.com/product/Welded_Wire_Mesh.html dingzhenfence.com/product/Welded%20Wire%20Mesh
