Can someone check that too? We're getting much lower numbers than they are.
Something doesn't look right.
RE: ACI App. D Anchor Bolt Program - Free Web App.
I've found it checks well with ACI code. Even modifies hef and ca1 per D.5.2.3 & D.6.2.4 respectively. Maybe that is where your discrepancy is arising (if your close to 3 of more edges) - I've got no idea without an example, but running though some ACI examples its spot on...
If you give a rough example - I'll check it out (I've used the program quite a bit and understand a few of its quiks fairly well - EX: on LOADS Tab | Load Source - "ACI 318-08" should be Chapter 9 & "ACI 318-08 Appendix D" should be Appendix C - also, if you select "Seismic Design "C" or Higher" it applies the .75 Factor per D.3.3.3 to PhiNn and PhiVn, it is the still engineers responsibility to ensure ductile failure.)

2'x2' pad. with heff = 18". Breakout/pryout would be unconservative.

The developer has expanded the module so you can also save files, and it sound like they will be expanding it for eccentricity and moments in the near future.
If you have feedback or questions, you can email them.
