Base shear, one story no roof.
Base shear, one story no roof.
(OP)
What dead weight or which walls do you account for the base shear in a masonry enclosure.(eg for a cooling tower) that basically is four walls 12ft height +/- and no roof at all?

If this is up on a roof, all the masonry weight contributes to the base shear.

Alternately, all walls may be designed as a cantilevered fence wall.
