Evaluation of Creep Characteristics of Single- Staple Furniture Joints Made of Different Wood Species

In this study, creep characteristics of single stapled furniture joints made Scotch pine, alder and beech wood under three different load levels were considered. Load determined as 30 %, 40 % 50 the maximum obtained a result static shear test before applied to joints. Laboratory results showed that highest deformation was observed in pine with lowest density, while density. addition, exposed at level, then increased level it reached value level. As test, 2.74 3.71 4.37 occurred performed respectively. Ultimately, overall average staple joint loading 3.61 %.
