Two blast analysis methods widely used are three-dimensional finite element (FE) and uncoupled equivalent single degree of freedom (ESDOF) methods. The uncoupled equivalent ESDOF method, which is the most common blast analysis method, provides considerable advantages and simplicity in analysis and design stages. However, the inherent assumptions and simplifications involved but especially neglecting member's dynamic interactions can significantly affect accuracy of analysis results. In this study, blast performance of a prototype two-module steel blast-resistant building is evaluated using uncoupled ESDOF and FE methods. The results are compared to evaluate adequacy of uncoupled ESDOF method for blast analysis of the structure.
