The aim is to develop an available Revised 5 November 2013 approach to predict the critical collapse thickness under explosion loading. It is found that both the diam- Accepted 13 November 2013 eter and the length-to-diameter ratio of the cylindrical explosive charges have remarkable influence on Available online 15 December 2013 the critical collapse thickness. Based on the experimental data for the plain concrete with the compres- sive strength of 35 MPa, an analytical expression for the relation between the dimensionless critical Keywords: collapse thickness on concrete target and the length-to-diame
