Tuned　mass　damper　(TMD)　is　a　practical　tool　for　reducing　structural　vibration.　The　current　TMD　design　often　use　the　dynamic　characteristics　of　structures　with　fixed　base.　However,　in　terms　of　resisting　earthquakes　especially　when　the　soil-structure　interaction　(SSI)　effect　is　prominent,　the　TMD　designed　for　the　fixed　base　situation　behaves　unfavorably　and　even　amplifies　the　structural　response.　In　this　paper,　a　parameter　design　and　performance　evaluation　of　TMD　for　seismic　control　of　structure　considering　SSI　is　studied.　The　contents　include　the　SSI　modeling,　structural　dynamic　characteristic　identification,　and　TMD　parameter　designing.　A　seismic　SSI　model　that　the　soil　is　simulated　by　an　accurate　lumped　parameter　models　(LPMs)　is　built　firstly.　A　simple　and　practical　method　is　then　used　to　identify　the　structural　dynamic　characteristic　of　SSI　model.　The　identified　structural　frequency　is　used　to　compute　the　parameters　of　TMD.　Finally,　two　types　of　structures,　three　kinds　of　soils,　and　100　ground　motions　are　applied　to　comprehensively　evaluate　the　TMD　performance　through　the　comparison　with　the　fixed-ground-based　design　and　optimization-algorithm-based　design.　The　research　shows　the　TMD　designed　by　the　proposed　method　can　show　a　good　performance　and　robustness.
