No of Ver. Rebar Effective to Resist Tensile Anchors - M_{ux +} M_uy Case

---

Under M_ux + M_uy, the corner anchor bolt in red as shown below is the highest
stressed anchor bolt in tension due to the moment in 2 directions.

No of ver. rebar effective to resist tensile anchors - n-M_ux+M_uy = number of
ver. rebar located around the corner anchor bolt in red within
min( 0.5h_ef , 8" ) distance.

These rebar are considered to be effective to resist the highest stressed
corner anchor bolt's tensile force.
