Helo all! 
Im new here so be gentle
Please look at the picture

For calculating bending moments diagrams of beams in an 2d frame simplification like this one is used.
This way you get higher moments over the support and in the mid spam since your sistem is not framed.
My question is how would you get right diagrams for columns?
Can Cross method be used for the entire 2D frame (like in the picture) when calculating by hand, or you have to use another simplification for geting column diagrams?
Thanx in advance!
