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:

Some Inverse Problems in Penetration Mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an approach that allows using phenomenological correlations for determining the dependencies of forces acting on a penetrator versus the instantaneous DOP and the instantaneous velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revising the penetration behavior of concrete-like and metal-like materials against the rigid projectile impact
TL;DR: In this article, a two-phase penetration theory is proposed, including the "squeeze and push" penetration phase and the dynamic spherical cavity expansion penetration phase, where the interaction from surface friction between the projectile and target and the penetration force due to the main quasi-static term contributes to the occurrence of the quasi-constant phenomenon.

Characteristics of high performance reinforced concrete barriers that resist non-deforming projectile impact
TL;DR: In this article, major properties and mechanisms that affect impact resistance of concrete barriers as per criteria that characterize the resistance are the perforation limit, penetration depth and the amount of front and rear face damage.

Penetration depth of RC panels subjected to the impact of aircraft engine missiles
TL;DR: In this article, a series of 1/10 reduce-scaled engine impact test on the 150mm-thick RC panels was conducted, and the striking velocities were ranged from 94'm/s to 184'm's, considering the taking off/landing and maximal cruising speeds of common commercial aircrafts.

Influence of compressive strength, fiber reinforcement, and thickness on spall and breach performance of concrete elements impacted with high-aspect-ratio fragments
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of compressive strength, thickness, and fiber reinforcement on spall and breach performance of reinforced concrete elements was investigated. And the authors found that the inclusion of fiber reinforcement significantly decreased the breach and spall responses.
