Seismic weight of a building for design purposes includes
Answer: D
Correct answer: dead load and a part of the imposed load
The seismic weight is the mass that will actually be accelerated with the structure. All of the dead load qualifies; only a fraction of the imposed load does, since furniture and occupants are not rigidly attached and much of the nominal live load is not present at any one time. Wind is a load rather than a mass and contributes nothing.
