This row N/A here, ref. note-3 below

Note1:- as per D 4.2.2 - for anchors with diameters not exceeding 2 in and tensile embedments not exceeding 25
in. in depth, the concrete breakout strength requirement shall be considered satisfied by the design procedure of D
5.2 & D 6.2
Note2:- As per D 3.3.3 - In region of moderate or high seismic risk, or for structures assigned to intermediate or high
seismic performance or design categeories, the design strength of anchors shall be taken as 0.75 Nn and 0.75
Vn, where is given in D4.4 or D4.5.
Note3:- As per D 4.2 - we assumed the confining reinforcement in the stem wall, which will prevent the Side face
blow out & increase Concrete breakout strength of anchor also we are suggesting 15deg.bend in anchor bolt to
provide edge distance as per D8, hence both the value can be neglected for design value

Vua = factored shear load on each anchor bolt =
