Water Fountain
(OP)
I am designing the slab for a water fountain (See attached elvation). The diameter is 7m. I would appreciate any help determining what the best way of designing it might be. Can I model it as a shell element in SAP2000?, can I treat in some way as a retaining structure?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You may want to forfeit the ice pressure with some flexible liner but maybe that is not in the mind of the designer.

I used a slab thickness of 10in.
Total maximum deflection = 0.05 in.
Maximum Shear @ d (Vmax) = 16.50 Ton/m (Which I used for for two-way shear check).
Mmax = 30.87 Ton.m/m
I used #4 @ 6" o.c. each way for reinforcement at top of slab.
#4 @ 12" o.c. each way for reinforcement at bottom of slab.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
