Anyone have a good resource on calculating the bending moments for a concrete slab on grade with a point load in tension?

You mean a uplift? I can't think of a good reference. But what I have typically done is see how much of the slab is needed to hold it down in such a case......and then figured the moment by treating it like a (simply supported on it's edges) plate with that point load in the center. (Similar approach if it's in a corner.)

 
Yes for uplift. Slab is existing, I am trying to avoid retrofitting.
