The seismic design of structures is an emerging practice in earthquake-resistant construction. Therefore, using energy-dissipation devices and optimizing these devices for various purposes are important. Evolutionary computation, nature-inspired, and meta-heuristic algorithms have been studied more in recent years for the optimization of these devices. In this study, the development of evolutionary algorithms for seismic design in the context of multi-objective optimization is examined through bibliometric analysis. In particular, evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization are used to optimize the performance of structures to meet seismic loads. While genetic algorithms are used to improve both the cost and seismic performance of the structure, particle swarm optimization is used to optimize the vibration and displacement performance of structures. In this study, a bibliometric analysis of 661 publications is performed on the Web of Science and Scopus databases and on how the research in this field has developed since 1986. The R-studio program with the biblioshiny package is used for the analyses. The increase in studies on the optimization of energy dissipation devices in recent years reveals the effectiveness of evolutionary algorithms in this field.
