agree Tony M : Yes, but depending on context, not NECESSARILY 'reinforcing' --- this may be just plain old round steel bar (but best keep the 'steel' in there)

neutral Jane Lamb-Ru (X) : I think this is wrong: I think plein is steel bar and the other is hollow steel bar. Acier Plein= steel that is not hollow

bar versus a hollow steel bar

round steel bar COMMENT [not for grading)

The only thing we may all be missing is that it is 'de plein rond', which could conceivably imply completely 'round', as distinct from, for example 'quart de rond' = quadrant or quarter-round

However, this seems unlikely to me, I feel sure the author's intention was indeed 'barre pleine, ronde, d'acier'

I don't understand what Jane is commenting about, since 'round steel bar' is exactly what has already been suggested; as Jane herself says, the 'solid' is rather redundant in English, as it is a built-in implication of the idea of 'bar'.
