Most are elaborately shaped and incised cross-slabs, some with figurative scenes, but lacking idiomatic Pictish symbols.
After the conversion to Christianity, from the tenth to the twelfth centuries, stone crosses and cross-slabs in Viking occupied areas of the Highlands and Islands were carved with successive styles of Viking ornament.
Examples include the eleventh-century cross-slab from Dóid Mhàiri on the island of Islay, where the plant motifs on either side of the cross-shaft are based upon the Ringerike style of Viking art.
The gathered results revealed that employing functionally graded reinforced concrete leads to more reduction in penetration depth, and destroyed front and back area, compared to entirely reinforced concrete cross section slabs with equal fiber volume fractions.
Turn right on to a stony path and follow a fence on to the airy top of Arthur's Seat, crossing rocky slabs.
There is little doubt that early Christianity influenced Mingulay (for example the nearby islands of Pabbay and Berneray both have cross-inscribed slabs) but no direct evidence has yet been found.
These key differences have led CE to depart from traditional chemical industry practice involving packed reactor towers, and to develop an intermittently- wetted air-contactor with cross-flow slab geometry.
A 500 nm thick cross-sectional slab was then isolated from the sample by focused-ion-beam milling, mounted on a TEM grid using a nanomanipulator and polished down to a thickness of ∼100 nm.
For wider cracks/joint separations and/or faulted slabs, cross stitching is not suitable.
This paper presents a model for the analysis of composite beams in which the constrained kinematics encompasses the overall shear deformability, warping of the slab cross section and of the steel beam and partial shear interaction between slab and girder.
The Skidmore, Owings & Merrill system uses a type of engineered wood called glued laminated timber, or glulam, for the building columns, and cross-laminated timber slabs for the central core, floors and shear walls, which provide stiffness against wind loads.
