Generally, bolted connection was used in stainless steel structural basic design for stainless steel bolted connection is similar to that of carbon steel connection. However, stainless steel with high ductility can be more beneficial if the mechanical characteristics are well used. Experimental and analysis studies had conducted. Curling was observed in some specimens with a relatively long end distance and affected strength reduction of bolted connection. Besides, finite element model had developed and its validation was verified through comparison with test results. In this paper, parametric analysis was performed using proven FE model. Key variables are the end distance and plate thickness of bolted connection. Ultimate strength and curling effect were also investigated.
