Solution:
Calculations of seismic weights

(i) Total weight of columns in a storey

= 27x 3 x 0.4 x 0.6 x 24
= 466.6 kN
(ii) Total weight of beams in a storey
= [(22 x 6 x 0.25 x 0.50) + (20 x 5 x 0.25 x 0.40)] x 24

 = 636.0 kN
(iii) Total weight of slab in a storey
= (12 x 20 + 24 x 10) x 0.15 x 24
= 1728 kN
(iv) Total weight of walls in a storey
= (12 + 10 +24 + 10 +36 +20) x 0.25 x 3 x 20
= 1680 kN
(v) Live load on each floor
= (12 x 20 + 24 x 10) x 3 x 0.25
= 360 kN
(vi) Lumped weight at floor 1, 2 and 3
= 466.6 + 636.0 + 1728 + 1680 + 360
= 4870.56 kN
(vii) Lumped weight at roof floor
= 466.6 + 636.0 + 1728 + 1680
= 4510.56 kN
(viii) Total weight of building
= 3X4870.56 + 4510.56
= 19122.24 kN
