this isn't really possible. For the rebar to take up meaningful tensile stresses, the concrete nearby must have cracked.

Reinforced concrete ALWAYS cracks.

If you want better corrosion resistance, you do other things - lower water ratios, increased concrete cover, sulfate resistant concrete with lower permeability, different reinforcing or epoxy coated reinforcing, etc.
