This illustration of inhomogeneous layers is provided only to assist in visualising
the arrangement.
On the basis of the given information about the inhomogeneous layers, it is not
possible to estimate how and where bearing elements intersect each other. It was
assumed that the layers intersect crosswise. The size of the areas was calculated
corresponding to their percentage of the whole area.
