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.
Rebars are used for reinforcing concrete and making it stronger and more reliable. While concrete is very good at withstanding compression (being pushed together), it doesn’t handle tension (being pulled apart) well on its own. Rebars, or reinforcing bars, are placed inside the concrete to help it resist tension and bending forces. This added strength prevents cracks and structural failure, ensuring that buildings, bridges, foundations, and other concrete structures stay safe and last longer. Rebars are used in a wide range of construction applications — from residential homes to large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects. The correct placement, size, and bending of rebars are essential for the structure’s overall stability and performance. That’s why rebar detailing is so important. Silicon Engineering Consultants offers rebar detailing services that provide accurate, practical drawings showing how rebars should be arranged within a structure. These detailed plans help reduce errors during construction, save time, and improve safety on-site. In summary, rebars are used for strengthening concrete so it can handle both compression and tension, playing a vital role in the durability of concrete structures.
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.

Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.
They used reinforced concrete and soapstone.
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.
