PCI has a design manual that discusses diaphragm design. Google search for hollowcore diaphragm and you should find it fairly quickly

At some point the aspect ratio becomes so extreme you can't get the diaphragm to calculate out.

Link Guide 13 on precast diaphragms at the bottom might be of general interest.
