Zusammenfassung:	The use of hollow fibres has been proposed as a way of improving the mechanical performance of fibre reinforced composite materials under compressive loading. The relative magnitudes of compression strength for hollow glass fibre and nominally identical solid fibre composite specimens were measured using a bespoke method. A considerable degree of scatter was observed for the compression strengths of the various fibre geometry's investigated. However, the results overall suggest that fibre hollow fractions around 20–25% may offer significant improvements in specific compressive strength for otherwise identical test specimens.
