Dimension it as a beam with vertical loads, the beam has the height of the floorspan or less, if the span of the beam is short. do not forget to calculate the vertical shear as well, because basically its a beam

It is designed to carry vertical loads, unless, we design it with reinforcements for the horizontal forces acting on the structure.
