agree  Norbert Hermann: [added] da stimme ich aber trotzdem zu :-))

  -> Eigentlich an Johannes gerichtete Bemerkung: Durch die Verwendung des allgemeineren Begriffes "Bewehrung" (der hier m.E. ausreicht) entgeht man dem Dilemma Stab vs Stahl.
agree  Horst2: denke das ist OK da es um die konstruktionstechnische Gestltung/Funktion geht und nicht um die Materialeigenschaft (Stahl)
48 mins
  -> Vorschlag nach Claires Ergänzung: Vielleicht sollte man einfach nur von der "Bewehrung" sprechen - dies reicht für den Zweck ihres Textes (Aufzählung möglicher Verankerungen) m.E. völlig aus.
neutral  Johannes Gleim: nicht ..stab, sondern ..stahl

Betonrippenstahl, Bewehrungsstahl


Explanation:
re-bar = Betonrippenstahl (ripped bar)
Rippenstahl (mit Quer- oder Schrägrippe) = ripped concrete steel (Ernst)
rebar = Bewehrungsstahl (Kucera)
