Use a Complex Profile beam?

Slabs can't have composite end profiles.

Because you want to wrap it underneath slightly, it will be easiest to add a wall or beam composite as suggested by Ling.
Or if it just in a section and doesn't need to be modelled, you can just add some lines (although I don't like adding 2D lines if it can be avoided).

If it was just down the edge of the slab, you could add a modifier to the wall composite to allow you to stretch just the membrane skin down (but not wrap it underneath).

I didn't know we could modify the layers one by one.
