Additional Example - Eccentric Connections

The document outlines the calculation of the critical fastener force in a bracket connection, detailing the steps to locate the centroid and compute the x and y components of force. It provides specific numerical values for the forces and moments involved, leading to the conclusion that the critical fastener force is approximately 98.867 kN. The calculations include determining shear forces and moments based on the geometry and load distribution of the connection.
