[@walidal-jobrani3181]

how can we calculate the Seismic Weight for each floor?

[@GuillermoSalgadoNieto]

Calculate all weights by hand, beams, columns... etc, but the trick is in only take the half weight of the column if you have a floor defined as the first story, for the above stories you take the all the weight of the column. Remember the CV depends on your seismic code.

@@mohamedanas1152 That's right, but this rule only apply for the columns weight.
