        Parameters
        ----------
        barArea
            A Float specifying the area per bar. 
        orientationAngle
            A Float or a String specifying the orientation of the rebar. A Float specifies the 
            angular orientation; a String specifies an orientation name. 
        layerName
            A String specifying the name of the rebar layer. 
        material
            A String specifying the name of the rebar material. 
        barSpacing
            A Float specifying the spacing of the rebar. This argument is only valid if the 
            *rebarSpacing* argument on the parent RebarLayers object is set to CONSTANT. The default 
            value is 0.0. 
        layerPosition
            A Float specifying the position of the rebar from the middle surface of the shell. 
            *layerPosition* applies only for homogeneous shell sections and composite shell 
            sections. The default value is 0.0. 
        spacingAngle
            A Float specifying the spacing angle of the rebar. This argument is only valid if the 
            *rebarSpacing* argument on the parent RebarLayers object is set to ANGULAR. The default 
            value is 0.0. 
        extensionRatio
            A Float specifying the extension ratio for the rebar. This argument is only valid if the 
            *rebarSpacing* argument on the parent RebarLayers object is set to LIFT_EQUATION. The 
            default value is 0.0. 
        radius
            A Float specifying the radius of the rebar. This argument is only valid if the 
            *rebarSpacing* argument on the parent RebarLayers object is set to LIFT_EQUATION. The 
            default value is 0.0. 

        Returns
        -------
            A LayerProperties object.
