Rebar

Also known as: reinforcing bar, reinforcing steel

Why slab rebar matters for above-ground shelters

Anchors transfer wind uplift into the slab. A slab without rebar acts as discrete chunks of concrete around each bolt — uplift cracks it free. A rebar mat ties the slab into a single panel that resists pull-out across the entire footprint.
