Actually concrete is not very good in tension therefore we have to introduce reinforcement which takes care of the tensile stresses. If we don't provide reinforcement, concrete will start showing cracks wherever tensile stresses overcome the concrete tensile strength.
Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.
The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
More likely reinforced concrete.
Reinforced concrete
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
They used reinforced concrete and soapstone.
reinforced concrete prise
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.

A reinforced concrete is a one in which steel is used. The inclusion of steel in concrete is to take up the tensile forces, since concrete is weak in tension and strong in compression. Moreover it gives warning of the structure before failure.
