Bending strength of corner joints constructed with injection-molded splines

Tests were carried out in order to determine the bending strength of corner joints constructed with injection-molded splines. Results indicated that high-strength joints can be formed by this process, but that the strength of the joints is highly dependent on the configuration of the spline. Information is also presented that allows the strength of the joints to be compared to the expected strength of similar joints constructed with screws and dowels.
