This paper presents equations to predict implosion (collapse) of thick-walled concrete spherical and cylndrical structures subjected to hydrostatic pressure loading. For the spherical structures, plain concrete and steel reinforced concrete spheres are considered. The reinforcement consists of steel liners located on the inside, outside and both inside and outside of the concrete wall. For cylindrical structures, only plain concrete is considered. Figures are presented that can be used as design charts. Example structures, with wall thickness to outside diameter ratios defined by neutral buoyancy, are analyzed to give their maximum operating depth in the ocean. (Kursetz)
