concrete is basically strong in compression....anything which is having tensile strength reinforces concrete

To reinforce concrete company's will use a fibre mesh which has loads of microscopic fibres and they bind the concrete together stronger. also in concrete slabs builders will usually tread re-in-forced steel grids into the mix

Why are people worried about the corrision of steel in concrete bridges and buildings?

Because the steel reinforces the concrete helping to keep it from cracking all the way through. We know that concrete will eventually crack so we use steel to help it retain it's intended shape and function. If the steel corrodes to a point of weakness the concrete structure is also weakened.

Should there be wire mesh in sidewalk?

Wire mesh should always be placed in a sidewalk. The wire mesh reinforces concrete that is only strong in compression. The concrete expands and contract in the summer and winter and the mesh will minimize cracking. It also helps when your neighbor drives his pick up truck across your sidewalk. Whenever a concrete road/bridge deck is placed reinforcing steel or heavy mesh is in it. The state agency doesn't do it unless it's needed.
