Yeah, same goes for reinforced concrete. Just concrete or just rebar isn't going to work nearly as well. It's the two combined that provide the powerful combination of compressive strength and tensile strength. This is the whole rationale behind composite materials: combining different materials with different properties to obtain a gestalt material.
