An optimal cuckoo search wavelet-based linear quadratic controller (ACSWBC) was introduced for seismic control of benchmark 76-story building with an active tuned mass damper (ATMD). A novel meta-heuristic cuckoo search (CS) algorithm was used to find the optimum gain matrix time to eliminate the trial and error. Furthermore, wavelet time-frequency analysis of excitation was used to adaptively design the controller by updating the weighting matrices to be applied to the control force of ATMD. The main advantage of the suggested control algorithm was adaptively calculating the optimum values of gain matrix components using the weights resolved on the response characteristics of the structure online. Furthermore, the robustness of the structural system was investigated to uncertainties in the stiffness matrix in the form of geometrical nonlinearities and multiplicative inclination. Results demonstrated that ACSWBC has preferable performance in attenuating the responses of structural system under several far and near fault seismic excitations.
