Are there any references I can follow to learn/design a slab under wheel loads?

In my case, I have a concrete slab with a metal deck supported by structural steel beams. This floor will see vehicle loads and I want to design the slab for moment & shear under a concentrated point load.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.
