As known, the damping ratio of structures is assumed as a constant value. This constant value is also used in the analysis of structures and these analysis results are used in the optimum design of active and passive control systems. In the present study, the assumed value of inherent damping of the structure is tested on tuned mass dampers that are used in the structures to reduce responses resulting from earthquakes. For this purpose, three methods are investigated by considering the increase or decrease of the damping coefficient of the superstructure. The first method is the usage of equations of Den Hartog which does not consider the inherent dumping of the structure. Secondly, the basic equations of Sadek et al. that include the inherent dumping for the optimum parameters are examined. Finally, a metaheuristic-based optimization approach using the Jaya algorithm (JA) was used in the investigation.
