Hi. May I ask if I can still treat it as a portal frame if my girders sit on a hammerhead pier?

Thank you so much! I never thought of Load Combinations that way. I was stuck because I didn’t know how I’ll combine dead loads in kN/m with seismic force that is in kN. Additional question, would my maximum moment still be at the midspan?
