A lot of glass windows which have been applied on modern architecture can give us comfort space, but also more dangers when exploding. The windows made of glasses have been the killing weapons that used by bombing terrorism. In order to control the bad effects produced by glass windows, three typical architectural glasses impacted by blast were studied by the experiments of shock wave pressure test. The experiments results show that all glasses impacted by blast become unsafe. Tempered glass and laminated glass become unsafe and the fatalness of float glass is greatly increased. Finally, the phenomena of float glasses impacted by blast was simulated with the two dimensional NMM program. The simulation results are in good agreements with the experimental ones. Further study on the glasses impacted by blast can make them more safely to us.
