What do you do when your b/a is not on the charts? Just treat it as a vertical cantilever? What about horizontal bending stresses?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

b/a = 90/20 = 4.5
c/a = 3 or less (c varies for each cell)

Make sure you use ACI 350-01 with the correct factors. Also use the Z check.
Good Luck! Sounds like a fun project. Oh, usually the careful detailing is at the base of the cantilever. You have to develop resteel around a waterstop.

The 'Moments & reactions for rectangular plates' is available on the net. I was going to send a copy of my very dog eared version for SlideRuleEra for his site but bridgebuster gave me the link. Have a look at thread256-166662 for info to download your own pristine copy.
