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:

Evaluation of Impact Resistance of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Panels Using Design Equations
Workbook for estimating effects of accidental explosions in propellant ground handling and transport systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a workbook is presented to supplement an earlier NASA publication, which was intended to provide the designer and safety engineer with rapid methods for predicting damage and hazards from explosions of liquid propellant and compressed gas vessels used in ground storage, transport and handling.

Performance of concrete targets mixed with coarse aggregates against rigid projectile impact
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of mesoscopic factors on the penetration resistance of concrete targets are investigated and a formula incorporating the effect of multi-factors is proposed to predict the DOP of rigid projectile penetration into concrete target mixed with coarse aggregates.

Investigation of the behaviour of a LILW superficial repository under aircraft impact
Rosa Lo Frano,Lorenzo Stefanini +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of a LILW superficial repository subjected to aircraft impact and fuel burning and concluded that even in the presence of a reduced strength and of (cone) cracking and plugging, the overall integrity resulted guaranteed.

Modeling finite thickness slab perforation using a coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method to model a near rigid projectile perforating finite thickness concrete slabs.

Probabilistic assessment of aircraft hazard for nuclear power plants
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of aircraft accidents is presented to establish the probability of an aircraft hitting a nuclear power plant, based on United States data, and new formulas are proposed to cover the range of parameters encountered in aircraft engine impact.

I.B. Wall,R.C. Augenstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of aircraft accidents is presented to establish the probability of an aircraft hitting a nuclear power plant, based on United States data, and the authors concluded that the aircraft risk is usually acceptably low for the typical case studied here.
