Do I >need to create a clump? If you want to simulate a steel bar as rigid non-deformable and non-yielding body, you can use clump. Another way is to use utils.createInteraction function To make the gaps between steel and concrete particles smaller, you can model the steel bar with "hexagonal" crossection such that the particles makes regular hexagonal prism. Just an idea.
