Removed in Alpha 20. Concrete Shapes are now placed without needing to wait for drying and have 5000 durability, the same as Reinforced Concrete used to have.
Reinforced Concrete Blocks are craftable building materials. It is one of the most durable building blocks in the game. Destroying a Reinforced Concrete block will yield 25 Cobblestone Rocks. Since A17 they will no longer downgrade to Concrete Blocks, instead will just be destroyed.
A Reinforced Concrete block can be upgraded to Steel Blocks with ten (10) Forged Steel using any construction tool.
Block Varieties
The Reinforced Concrete Blocks comes in a number of different varieties, each with the same durability and features. The only difference is the shape and hit boxes, which may allow you to shoot through them or walk up them. There are rare cases, when a variety has different properties, see Notes below for specific information.

Notes[]
Crafting[]
Reinforced Concrete Blocks can be created by upgrading a Concrete Block, this process is a little different than others. When the Concrete Block is upgraded it first goes through a Poured Concrete Blocks phase that then automatically upgrades to Reinforced Concrete Blocks in a number of game hours.
A Reinforced Concrete block can be upgraded to a Steel Blocks block with ten (10) Forged Steel using any construction tool.
Recipes
The following recipes require Reinforced Concrete Blocks: (NOTE: Times are based on a level 1 skill and the material that an object is crafted from, which is only reliable for food at the moment, so is rather difficult to calculate, this table is auto-generated):

How To: Make Reinforced Concrete (Updated)
The video below shows how to get reinforced concrete walls as of alpha 13, as well as the upgrade path for blocks. If you know how to make cement mix and rebar frames, then just skip to 1:38 of the video for the actual making of reinforced concrete. The beginning was only included to be thorough.
