In this study, the robust optimum design of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is established. The H2 and H∞ norm of roof displacement transfer function are implemented and compared as the objective functions under Near-Fault (NF) and Far-Fault (FF) earthquake motions. Additionally, the consequences of different characteristics of NF ground motions such as forward-directivity and fling-step are investigated on the behavior of a benchmark 10-story controlled structure. The Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) is employed as an optimization technique to calculate the optimum parameters of the TMDs. The resulting statistical assessment shows that the H∞ objective function is rather superior to H2 objective function for optimum design of TMDs under NF and FF earthquake excitations. Finally, the robustness of the designed TMDs is evaluated under a large set of natural ground motions.

A number of artificial earthquake ground motions compatible with time-frequency characteristics of recorded actual earthquake ground motions as well as the given target response spectrum are generated using wavelet transform. The coefficient of variation (C.O.V..) of maximum displacement on elasto-plastic SDOF systems excited by these artificial ground motions are numerically evaluated.
