The Herbert Gold property system is open to length and depth and is host to at least six main composite vein-fault structures that contain ribbon structure quartz-sulfide veins.
The dependence of the length of the loaded part of the arch on the self-weight and the rising part of the arch when the horizontal bearing reaction of the stress ribbon structure is equal to the thrust of the arch ([H.sub.v] = [H.sub.a]).
The main disadvantage of stress ribbon structures is large horizontal bearing reactions transmitted to the foundations, which often determines the cost of these structures (Schlaich et al., 2005; Kulbach, 2007; Karieta, 2010).
Simulations using a realistic solar wind structure showed remarkably good association with the IBEX data, closely reproducing the observed ribbon structure, location, and latitudinal ordering by energy.
I only hope that the Ribbon structure on the island at the junction with the A444 and the Foleshill Road is returned to Coventry Blue in the not too distant future or should Blue Ribbon Park now be known as Purple Ribbon Park?
Mr Pledger maintained that the ribbon structure had caused no damage to the Grade I listed building, which was designed by renowned architect William Burges and constructed in 1874.
The ribbon structure allows printing on various receptors, such as coated and uncoated papers and some synthetics.
Sufficient shear must be generated during compounding to develop the MP1500 short fiber, platelet or ribbon structure which accomplishes the reinforcement.
Ribbon structures with high water solubility are obtained.
Stressed ribbon structures tend to have fixed cross-section, low initial sag ([f.sub.0] =(1/30/1/60) L) and shape similar to that of a square parabola.
Recently, different construction solutions have been applied to reduce deformability of stress ribbon structures, among which suspension combined ribbon structures can be distinguished (Sandovic, Juozapaitis 2012).
