Dynamic effects such as wind, traffic, and earthquakes can cause loss of life and property. Since tall buildings are more sensitive to these vibrations, vibration control is an important issue in civil engineering. In this study, the Adaptive Harmony Search (AHS) was used to determine the optimum TMDI parameters. AHS shares similar steps with the classic Harmony Search (HS), which simulates the process of musicians creating new harmonies. However, unlike HS, it uses harmony memory consideration rate (HMCR) and pitch adjustment rate (PAR) values that are updated at each search step, rather than fixed HMCR and PAR values. The aim of the optimization is to minimize the maximum displacement of the upper floor in a 10-story shear building against different earthquake records. To evaluate the performance of the TMDI system, displacement and total acceleration under seismic loading were analyzed. As a result, the TMDI reduced displacement by 35% and 13.33% for non-pulse and pulse, respectively, for near-fault earthquake records. These reductions indicate that the structure's resistance to dynamic loads can be enhanced using control systems.
