• The design of various members based on strength,
stiffness, and stability considerations was discussed in
the preceding topics.
3
• Most members are made up of plate-like parts such
as actual plates, webs and flanges of beams, legs of
angles, etc.
4
• Ingenuity must be exercised in arranging the rivets
at a joint.

Eccentric riveted and bolted
connections
• The foregoing discussion of riveted and bolted
connections applies to situations where the line of
action of the applied force passes through the
centroid of a rivet group.
If the point of intersection of
E1 and E2 is denoted by B, it
is seen that an inclined force
E3 must pass through B to
cause no twisting of plate.
13
• Point B is synonymous with the centroid of rivet areas,
since in most practical cases the resistance of a rivet
depends on its cross-sectional area.
14
• The average direct shear stress τs on all rivets is
P
τs =
nA
where A is the cross-sectional area of one rivet.
15
• The second problem, is a problem of torsion, in
which the applied torque T is equal to Pe.
