A reinforcing member of rebar (10) for use in, for example, reinforcing concrete, comprising a rod member (10) formed from braiding interlocking layers of reinforcing fibers (12) with an enlarged element (16) incorporated into the outer layer to create a surface protrusion (18, 20) to transfer loads from the concrete to the rebar. Resin may also be used with the braided structure to form a composite rebar. A core (342) may also be provided in the rod for reinforcement.
