A load-bearing structure is disclosed and configured to, during operation of the structure, transfer load from a first part of the structure to a second part of the structure via a load path. The component includes a matrix material, a plurality of longitudinal first reinforcing elements embedded in the matrix material, and a plurality of longitudinal second reinforcing elements embedded in the matrix material. The long axis of each first reinforcing element is substantially aligned with a first direction and the long axis of each second reinforcing element is substantially aligned with a second direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The structure has a predefined crack-propagation region configured to control the propagation of a crack in the structure. The crack-propagation region either comprises multiple first reinforcing elements and does not comprise any second reinforcing elements; or comprises multiple second reinforcing elements and does not comprise any first reinforcing elements.
