Plates supported by bolts find application in bolted connections and in composite walls whose two face plated are interconnected by tie bolts and concrete is filled in between. This article presents the formula of the buckling stresses of this type of plate when plate-like and column-like buckling occur respectively. The bolt-bolt distances both in line and in row were determined by requiring their capacity be the yielding strength. The difference between the composite wall with double face-plate and tie-bolts and the multicellular concretefilled tube wall is discussed and the design requirement on tie-bolts are provided
