Reinforced barrels are used for mortars. They are removed from the game if Classic mortars storyteller option is enabled.

Acquisition

Reinforced barrels cannot be crafted. Instead they can only be acquired through trade, held by traders, or as a reward for performing quests. Reinforced barrels are also dropped down to raiders if they are in a siege.

Summary

A reinforced barrel is required to build and rearm mortars. A mortar costs 1 barrel to construct, and can fire up to 20 rounds before needing to be rearmed with another reinforced barrel. They are consumed on use.

If the Classic mortars storyteller option is enabled, reinforced barrels are completely removed from the game, and mortars do not need them to be built/used. Instead, mortars cost Steel 150 steel more to build and mortar shells cost Steel 10 steel more to make. The forced miss radius of mortars also increases in compensation.

Analysis

An effective way to acquire bulk Reinforced Barrels is to lead traders with them into insectoid hives, wait for them to be killed, then retrieve the barrels while the bugs sleep.
