Wants to know whether shear value in consideration during base plate design not anchors.
The welds are checked for shear, but not the plate. The plate checked for bending.

You said the plate a moment ago, now you are back to the anchors. We use the ACI Appendix D methods for anchor shear and tension interaction.
