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:

Cumulative damage of reinforced concrete subjected to repeated impact
L.I. Knab,James R. Clifton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cumulative damage of steel reinforced concrete slabs subjected to repeated impact was measured by measuring the crater depth and the reduction in ultrasonic pulse velocity across the impact region.

A critique of three methodologies for estimating the probability of containment failure due to steam explosions
TL;DR: It is concluded that, given the current state of knowledge, all approaches involve significant uncertainties; no method is currently capable of credibly defending any given value of failure probability or a narrow uncertainty range.

Understanding the dynamic response of concrete to loading: practical examples
N. Gebbeken,T. Krauthammer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the tensile behaviour of concrete on the protection of a building or a structural element has been discussed based on impact, penetration and perforation, followed by contact detonation.

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.
