Özet
The wood dowel pin is one of the common fasteners for connecting structural members in wooden furniture frame construction, such as chairs. The effects of dowel penetration depth, shear strengths of connection member and dowel materials, dowel surface texture, and member grain orientation on ultimate direct withdrawal loads of single dowels withdrawn from wooden materials were investigated. The main findings were that the connections using dowels and main members with low shear strength properties achieved the same ultimate direct withdrawal loads with connections using the materials with higher shear strength properties for dowels and main members. Additionally, the existing empirical equations, including shear strength properties for both dowel and main member materials used to construct dowel connections, tended to remarkably underestimate the ultimate direct withdrawal loads of the evaluated dowel connections withdrawn from the end and side grains of the tested wood species. The connection main members in this study when these two shear strength values were added together was less than 25 MPa. Both estimation expressions were modified to consider the lower shear strength effort on ultimate direct withdrawal loads of dowels evaluated in this experiment.
