In this paper, an experiment has been performed to investigate the structural behaviors of cold-formed lean duplex stainless steel (STS329FLD) single shear bolted connections with single bolt and two bolts. Main variables are end distance parallel to the direction of applied force and number of bolts (single bolt and two bolts). Specimens with single bolt failed by shear-out fracture. Specimens with two bolts showed shear-out fracture and block shear fracture. It is found that ultimate strength also got larger with the increase of end distance.
