chaînage

Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Document on construction, reinforced concrete.
The sentence is: "Les lignes de jonction
doivent seulement être des "chaînes" ou "chaînages", c'est-à-dire des éléments capables de reprendre des tractions suivant leur axe et capables d'assurer le transfert de traction/compressions perpendiculaires à leur axe."
The proposed translations for 'chaîne' and 'chaînage' are not satisfying in this context in my opinion. Just saying 'a reinforcement capable of...' is not good enough I believe.

Note from asker:
| Andrew, since I finally selected 'tie reinforcement', can you please suggest this answer, so I can select it and grant you the points. Thanks! |

kashew
: I think the asker wants reinforcement that is load-bearing, not ties which are for positioning.
