The purpose of the paper is to investigate the influence of geometry of charges on the propagation of blast waves. Various shapes charges (cylinder, sphere, irregular shape) such as various type of explosives were used in the field tests. The main type of explosive, homemade ANFO (Ammonium nitrate + fuel oil), was used as the most common used explosives in improvised explosive devices used in terrorist attacks. Characteristics of homemade and industrially made ANFO explosives are different. There were comparing charges of various type of industrially produced types of explosives and homemade explosive in the field tests. The blast wave propagation were investigated and compared.

Keywords: blast wave propagation, field test, blast wave, blast pressure, ammonium nitrate and fuel oil explosives, critical infrastructure
