French term or phrase: sabot d'articulation d'un poteau
"les sabots d'articulations des poteaux"

Il s'agit d'une liste des différent éléments de construction qui peuvent être fabriqués en aluminium ou à partir d'alliages. On trouve aussi "axes d’articulation des pieds de poteaux" ou de "panneaux de remplissage", etc.

Toute aide serait grandement appréciée.

pinned column base/shoe
Explanation:
Hard to be more precise without knowing the degree of sophistication of this device.

A simple column shoe/base can be a piece of reinforcing bar welded to a large piece of angle iron. You embed the rebar in your concrete foundation and fix your timber post to the bracket. This means the bottom of the timber post does not rot, or at least does not rot as quickly as if it were in contact with the concrete.

In another version, you have a U-shaped piece of steel into which the timber fits and is secured.

Or it can be a whole lot complicateder.

"Pinned" means that the timber post is held by a single fixing part such that it can rotate in one plane.

PINNED COLUMN BASE transfers horizontal and vertical forces. In principle, moments are not transferred. It is however an advantage if fixtures and fixings have sufficient moment capacity to be able to stabilise the column during erection. The connection should be designed in such a way that changes in the inclination of the column are not prevented, since any restraining forces here could give rise to splitting.

The fixtures are usually formed with external steel side plates nailed or screwed to the column. Alternatively a STEEL SHOE can be used to avoid direct contact between the foundation and the column.
