does anyone can give me a reference on the weight of different walls systems or a website with this kind of information?
thanks a lot
 
Quite a broad question. What kind of walls? Masonry? Depends on the thickness and grout spacings. Metal stud w/plywood? metal stud w/EIFS? Wood stud?
If you are looking for a general answer, then usually a wall that is not masonry is about 10 psf.
 
ASCE-7 also has a Dead Load list of wall systems.
