The primary function of a continuously threaded rod lies in its ability to provide tension and compression support in structural systems. In construction, they are commonly used in pre-stressed concrete, where tension is applied before the concrete sets, enhancing its strength and durability. They also find usage in post-tensioning systems, where tension is applied after the concrete has cured, providing additional stability to the structure.

Chipboard, while inherently strong, can be susceptible to damage if not properly secured. Fasteners play a vital role in ensuring that the pieces of chipboard stay together under stress and use. They prevent joints from separating and maintain the overall integrity of the product, whether it’s a piece of furniture or a decorative shelf. Using the incorrect type of fastener can lead to stripped holes, poor support, and even failure of the assembled structure.
