Explanation Chimneys are never used as a weight-bearing part of a wall because they are subjected to high-temperature change and this temperature change of the chimney causes it to expand. If the chimney is used as a weight-bearing member, then, upon expansion it can cause extra load on the other weight-bearing member, because other membersof the wall are not going to experience that much temperature change...
