The FabLab House was designed as an ellipsoid structure prefabricated from wood that is formed into a rib-like structure. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Kitiara descended the rib-like stairs of the platform, Tanis following. ❋ Carlos G.Tonda (2010)
These German airships were held together by rib-like skeletons of steel and aluminium and a stout inelastic canvas outer-skin, within which was an impervious rubber gas-bag, cut up by transverse dissepiments into from fifty to a hundred compartments. ❋ Herbert George (2006)
A piece of the Platano Guineo soaked in brandy retains its color unchanged; but the rib-like fibres which connect the rind with the pulp then become black, and imbibe a bitter taste. ❋ Johann Jakob Von Tschudi (1853)
He was conspicuous from the finely-coloured rib-like ridges on each side of his cheeks, the clear blue and scarlet hue of which, on such a hideous long face and muzzle, with its small, deeply-sunk malicious eyes, and projecting brow and cheeks, seemed almost as if beauty and bestiality were here combined. ❋ Adam White (1848)
The beams of the huts had grown dark with age, many of their roofs were riddled with holes, others had but a tile of the roof remaining, and yet others were reduced to the rib-like framework of the same. ❋ Unknown (1842)
His other specimens consisted of single plates of a variety of Coccosteus, undistinguishable in their form and proportions from those of the _Coccosteus decipiens_, but which exceeded by about one-third the average size of the corresponding parts in that species; and of a rib-like bone, that belonged apparently to what few of the ichthyolites of the Lower Old Red seem to have possessed, -- an osseous internal skeleton. ❋ Hugh Miller (1829)
They were working to remove a bolted flange, a rib-like assembly that must be taken out in order to install another piece of equipment -- known as a flanged spool -- over the drill pipe and connect it to the new containment dome. ❋ Unknown (2010)

They are rib-like strengtheners that run the length of the wing. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Based on the national standards for determining loads and for designing structural steel buildings, NIST researchers studying the Cowboys facility found that the May 2 wind load demands on the building's framework-a series of identical, rib-like steel frames supporting a tensioned fabric covering-were greater than the capacity of the frame to resist those loads. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The Sergeant was right, for, after turning a rib-like mass of stone forming an angle in the path, it was to find that either a fresh party of the enemy were waiting for them, or the others had by taking a short cut reached an eminence commanding the path; and as soon as the company came in sight they were saluted with an avalanche of stones, on a spot where they were terribly exposed, there being no shelter that could be seized upon by a few picked marksmen to hold the stone-throwers in check while the rest got by. ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)
