Abstract: (Elsevier)

• The effective muon attenuation and absorption lengths of air showers are investigated. • Air shower data of the KASCADE-Grande observatory is analyzed. • Predictions of the models SIBYLL 2.1, EPOS-LHC, QGSJET-II-02 and -04 are tested. • The studied models fail to describe consistently the attenuation of the muon data.
