The effect of end distance and number of ready-to-assemble furniture fasteners on bending moment resistance of corner joints

Original language description

Even though they are widely used by the furniture industry, ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture fasteners are a relatively new style of joinery. The object of this study was to investigate the effect of the end distance of cam lock RTA fasteners and the effect of non-glued wooden dowels on the splitting and bending moment resistance, respectively, of RTA corner joints. Laminated particleboard, cam fasteners, and wooden dowels were used for specimen construction (as it is used by furniture industry). In two studies, L-shaped joint specimens 760 mm in length were tested in compression. The first study showed that end splits in panels were eliminated when cam fasteners were located 60 mm from the member ends. In the second study, specimens with two cam fasteners supported by two, three, four, or five non-glued dowels were tested. These specimens had significantly higher bending moment resistance than comparable joints that employed only cam fasteners but no dowels. Thus, it was concluded th
