英语翻译The reinforcing steel bars in one of the orthogonal mesh

英语翻译
The reinforcing steel bars in one of the orthogonal mesh directions are modelled by an
equivalent steel layer with stiffness only in the direction of the reinforcement.The
thickness of each steel layer is such that its cross-sectional area is equal to the total area of
the corresponding reinforcing bars.There can be many such reinforcing layers in the
longitudinal and the transverse directions.Perfect bond is assumed between the
reinforcing steel layers and the surrounding concrete.
