For additional strength, reinforcing ribs can be designed into the part.

The section of tank now stood with its open side butted up against the outer wall and secured by crude welds to the reinforcing ribs.

In order to maintain strength and durability it employs both longitudinal and latitudinal reinforcing ribs.

The ground floor ceiling of the later, 15th-17th century towers was a false vault, known as nartol tkhov, with two intercrossing rows of reinforcing ribs.

Modern aircraft are specifically designed with longitudinal and circumferential reinforcing ribs in order to prevent localised damage from tearing the whole fuselage open during a decompression incident.

The engine block was revised with structural reinforcing ribs up front eliminating the two freeze plugs (on the front and back) along with an alloy oil pan (for the S10, Blazer, and Jimmy).

Both the crankcase and any rigid cast oil pan often have reinforcing ribs cast into them, as well as bosses which are drilled and tapped to receive mounting screws/bolts for various other engine parts.

Mi-24F (Hind-A): Modified Hind-A with seven reinforcing ribs on the port fuselage aft of the wing and the SRO-2M Khrom ("Odd Rods") IFF antenna relocated from the canopy to the oil cooler.
