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.

Why do engineers use reinforced concrete?
Concrete is a material which is extremely effective when loaded in compression, yet performs poorly when loaded in tension. Steel on the other hand is quite effective in tension. Reinforced concrete uses steel bars wherever the concrete is loaded in tension in order to increase its capacity.
