Appendix C<br />

Additional Results from the Tests on the STT Specimens<br />

In this appendix additional results from the static <strong>and</strong> fatigue tests performed on STT specimens<br />

studied in Chapter 5 are presented.<br />

C.1 Axial Displacement vs. Force Curves from the Static<br />

Tests<br />

In this section axial displacement vs. force curves for the STT specimens with H45, H100 <strong>and</strong><br />

H250 are presented.<br />
