AB  - Dynamic impacts such as wind and earthquakes cause loss of life and economic damage. To ensure safety against these effects, various measures have been taken from past to present and solutions have been developed using different technologies. Tall buildings are more susceptible to vibrations such as wind and earthquakes. Therefore, vibration control has become an important issue in civil engineering. This study optimizes tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) using far-fault ground motion records. This study derives the optimum parameters of TMDI using the Adaptive Harmony Search algorithm. Structure displacement and total acceleration against earthquake load are analyzed to assess the performance of the TMDI system. The effect of the inerter when connected to different floors is observed, and the results are compared to the conventional tuned mass damper (TMD). It is indicated that the case of connecting the inerter force to the 5th floor gives better results. As a result, TMD and TMDI systems reduce the displacement by 21.87% and 25.45%, respectively, and the total acceleration by 25.45% and 19.59%, respectively. These percentage reductions indicated that the structure resilience against dynamic loads can be increased using control systems.
