It is possible to apply passive and active control methods. In passive, structures are controlled via additional mechanical components, while and external force generating by a powered motor is needed for active control. In the practice of this study, active tuned mass dampers (ATMDs) are used to reduce vibration and responses of structures. The parameters of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) type controllers used in ATMD was found via trial-error method, while mechanical properties of mass damper are optimized via metaheuristic algorithm called Jaya Algorithm. The results were compared with passive tuned mass damper (TMD) and uncontrolled structure. The tuned ATMD is effective to reduce structural vibrations better than TMD. In future studies, both mechanical and controller parameters can be optimized via metaheuristic algorithms.562020562020122128https://www.wseas.org/multimedia/journals/computers/2020/a345105-055.pdf10.37394/23205.2020.19.17http://www.wseas.org/multimedia/journals/computers/2020/a345105-055.pdf10.1002/(sici)1096-9845(199704)26:4<409::aid-eqe647>3.0.co;2-0Adhikari, R. and Yamaguchi, H., 1997, Sliding mode control of buildings with ATMD, Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics, 26(4), 409-422.
