Short Concrete Cantilever

Short Concrete Cantilever

Short Concrete Cantilever

(OP)
I've got a short concrete cantilever 3" lg. x 1' deep.  The cantilever is from a slab on grade that will extend over a conveyor pit and support a traffic plate.  What is the appropriate way to check the cantilever?  Should I check shear from a shear friction standpoint (corbel) Vu=Av*Fy*u?  or should I check it as beam shear Vc=2*(f'c)^.5*bw*d?  Can I incorporate both for capacity?  

Also what are your thoughts on the width of the "beam section (bw)", I am considering a 2' beam width since the traffic plate is 2'wide.

Thanks
PBW
