OK, I think I would agree with all of that. I only have one question. Further down on p10-160, they say "In all-bolted construction, both the shop and field bolts should be designed for shear and the eccentric moment." That makes it sound like having the bent plate bolted on both legs would count eccentricity at both sets of bolts without qualification, though maybe not on the actual plate strength, just bolt strength. I realize all-bolted is a little different condition than my initial post, but just wanting to reconcile that statement with the first statement from 10-133 and Figure 10-14, which I agree, seems reasonable to apply to both angles and bent plates.
