around 150 mm. After the unstable crack propagation, the crack continued to propagate in a<br />

stable manner. A small deviation between the two test repetitions is observed for the H45 <strong>and</strong><br />

H100 specimens. However, Figure 5.18 (c) illustrates a large deviation between the two test<br />

repetitions for the STT specimens with H250 core, which can be attributed to the different scales<br />

<strong>of</strong> fibre bridging in H250 specimens.<br />
