The paper focuses on the numerical analysis of steel frame subjected to air blast load. ABAQUS/Explicit was employed to establish 3D finite element model. Two-storey steel frame was discretized with solid elements. Air blast load was generated using CONWEP generator. 3 different weight of TNT was considered.
