You are saying that shear in columns is high in the support or on its ends. What about the bending moments? is it also high at the ends of the column? Is it because of the dynamic loads i.e. wind and earthquake?

@@gnidnoeled786 Hey, thank you for asking this question. Yes, shear is generally maximum at both ends and decreases towards the center. While bending moment varies case by case. Although it’s usually highest at the ends, while some deflections in the column might result in having higher moments in its center compared to the ends. Hope that helps!
