The calculation results showed that the proposed method is easy in understanding and could be used practically by civil engineers.
Introduction Civil engineering structures, particularly high-rise buildings are especially susceptible to random vibrations; whether it is from high ground accelerations, strong wind forces or abnormal loads such as explosions.
The first method uses the effective independence method (EfI), which based on the maximization of the Fisher information matrix (FIM) determinant, now is one of the most influential and commonly used method in civil engineering.

Predicting the post-yield behaviour of civil engineering structures as well as controlling their vibrations using non-linear systems are ever challenging problems, especially when subjected to random excitations such as wind and earthquake.
Wind and earthquake are the major sources which cause this large response in civil engineering structures.
So, there is a need for the reduction in these responses for civil systems.
It is widely used in civil structures as Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and mechanical systems as Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA).
