If I have two bombs that have a 5 mile blast radius, and I set them off simultaneously 1 mile apart, what happens in the middle?

The easiest way to picture this is to imagine big rocks being dropped in water a few feet from each other. The ripples you see from each rock are the shockwaves you are asking about. Yes, they will collide but they may not interact in the way you expect.
