A review of procedures for the analysis and design of concrete structures to resist missile impact effects
TLDR
In this paper, the effects of a hard impact on a concrete barrier wall are discussed. But this paper only deals with the effect of "hard" missile impact and does not deal with the impact on "soft" barrier walls.About:

Attenuation effect of artificial cavity on air-blast waves in an intelligent defense layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of artificial cavities on the attenuation of air-blast waves in the concrete defense layer were investigated and two empirical formulae were proposed to relate the decay factor of peak axial stress to the dimensions and relative positions of rectangular and circular cavities.

Shear plug formation in concrete slabs subjected to hard impact
G. Dinic,S.H. Perry +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the likely causes of hard impact at low velocities (0-25 m/s) and discussed the various modes of impact damage found in concrete structures, namely, spalling, scabbing/shear plug formation, penetration and perforation.
