Structural

Hello,

I want to reinforce a sloped concrete headwall similar to the one shown in pic below. I know the loads, but, I am unsure how to consider the opening in concrete when it comes to stress analysis and reinforcement, rather it seems a complicated task. Is there any reference i could use to analyze this situation? any FHWA/AASHTO regulation for this type of structure?
