The Ultimate moment of resistance based on the steel is given by

If the Design Ultimate moment < Maximum Ultimate Moment
then it is satisfactory
The ultimate moment of resistance based on the steel is given by:

This is satisfactory and no shear stee is necessary.
Note: As shear stress is satisfactory at the root of wall, it is not
necessary to consider the critical secion of a height 2d above root.
