Thanks again. Yes, it's a portal frame structure with a timber beam and a reinforced concrete column in one of the two ends. In the other the column is in timber. That reinforced column is indeed attached to a reinforced concrete wall and both are fixed to the ground with a foundation as they...

many thanks, I understand what you mean. My thought is: in steel for example, one can create frames that are bolted or welded. Welded frames are fully rigid while bolted frames allow for certain flexibility. Both allow frame action and therefore bending moments in the corners. I was wondering if...
