resistance of a liquid or gas, while hysteretic dampers use the plastic deformation of metal. Removing most of this aspect from the structure significantly reduces damage to structures during earthquakes. The optimization of energy-dissipating devices increases structural safety while also taking into account economic and esthetic factors [1; 2]. Viscous dampers dissipate energy by counteracting the movement of the structure during an earthquake. These dampers usually perform energy dissipation using the viscous resistance of a liquid or gas. Such dampers improve the performance of structures under dynamic loads by preventing them from resonating. [PERSON] et al. emphasized the high seismic performance of viscous dampers [3]. Hysteretic dampers use elements, usually made of materials such as steel or lead, to increase the energy-damping capacity of the structure. These elements absorb and dissipate energy through plastic deformations. The main advantage of hysteretic dampers is that they can absorb large amounts of energy and increase the durability of structures. Studies by [PERSON] et al. have demonstrated the effectiveness of these dampers in various structural systems [1]. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are often used in high-rise buildings and are equipped with a mass tuned to the vibration frequency of the structure. These dampers are used to counter seismic energy and reduce structural vibrations. TMDs can greatly reduce the vibrations of the structure, which results in a longer life of the structures. [PERSON] et al. conducted studies investigating the seismic performance of these dampers in high-rise buildings [4]. When seismic energy dissipates, conventional constructions in seismically vulnerable places may sustain significant damage. Dissipating some seismic input energy with energy-dissipating devices is a developing practice in earthquake-resistant structural construction [5]. Adding more fuse elements is one method of dispersing seismic input energy. Building structural seismic protection can be designed utilizing a displacement-based approach thanks to new hierarchical energy dissipation systems that use miniature bar-type structural fuses to disperse energy effectively [2]. Seismic design algorithms are mathematical and computational methods used to increase the resistance of structures to earthquake loads. These algorithms are used to model how structures will respond during an earthquake and allow decisions such as the sizing and placement of structural elements to be optimized. Multi-objective optimization algorithms are generally preferred in earthquake design because it is important to minimize cost and material usage while increasing the safety of structures. Evolutionary methods such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and differential evolution algorithms are frequently used in this process [6; 7]. Complex optimization problems can be solved in large part using evolutionary approaches. They frequently outperform conventional methods by providing a wide range of tools that may be customized to address particular issues. These algorithms' versatility and effectiveness make them appropriate for a broad range of uses, from realistic real-world difficulties to theoretical benchmark issues. Algorithms inspired by nature and evolutionary algorithms have become effective methods for solving these complex optimization issues. These algorithms provide powerful answers to difficult problems where conventional mathematical techniques could be inadequate. They are inspired by biological evolution and natural events. Evolutionary algorithms are effective for large-scale optimization problems, with various algorithms like particle swarm, genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms, and ant colony systems showing promise in terms of convergence speed, processing time, and result quality [8].
