Your question is understood in the way that, Column (beam) is not fixed but hinged at the base.

For hinged supported column, axial forces (Tension/compression) and shear reaction should be arrived as reaction from the external loads.

In case of fixed base, bending moment, compression and shear will be the reaction.
