More information about rivet:
Rivet is used to connect the two structural members such as bearing plates, columns and beams etc.
To connect the member with a rivet, it should be heated first then it is driven into the hole. After cooling, the diameter of the rivet slightly reduces but it is taken as the original diameter.
