Can you convert radial reinforcement to equivalent longitudinal reinforcement?

I have radial reinforcement as seen with blue lines below. I was wondering; if I dont want to do radial reinforcement, can I convert this to longitudinal reinforcement in the X and Y direction instead?

What I want; just regular reinforcement in the horizontal and vertical direction:

Edit: The radial reinforcement has diameter of 12 mm and center distance of 200 mm.

There is no one-size fits all way to do this. Do you have one of those old 4-way slabs reinforced radially out from the columns?
 
With isotropic reinforcing, you have the same moment capacity, no matter which axis.
