Eccentric Connection
The rivet have to offer resistance to prevent translator displacement (displacement due to shear)
as well as rotator displacement (displacement due to moment)
The perpendicular distance between line of action of total load ‘P’ on the bracket plate and the
centroid of the rivet group is called eccentricity ‘e’
The rivets connecting the bracket plate and the flange of the column have to offer the following
resistance.

Case (II): When the applied moment is normal to the plane of the connection
When the applied moment is not in the plane of the rivets, the rivets are subjected to both tension
and shear
The external force tends to rotate the connections about a neutral axis
The locations of the neutral axis depend upon the initial tension (if any) in the rivets.

But for the design to be safe, force on the extreme rivet T r should be less than or equal to
