The actual member sizes and structure geometry(Beam Column and Slab) was modeled as space frame by ETABS software. The software recognizes the respective structure weight by generating the "SELFWEIGHT" 3 command feature. The weight of the structure is based on concrete density of 25 kN/m . The ETABS syntax below signifies consideration of such selfweight.

B.Weight of Main Brick Wall
Unit Weight of Plaster = 20.40 kN/m3
3 Unit Weight of Brick Masonary = 18.85 kN/m Plaster thickness = 50.00 mm Weight = 1.02 kN/m2 Full Wall thickness = 230.00 mm Weight = 4.34 kN/m2 Half Wall thickness = 115.00 mm Weight = 2.17 kN/m2
