This paper proposes a control method of Active Mass Damper (AMD) for Building Mass Damper (BMD). The parameters of the soft story of BMD must be higher than the optimal values to prevent excessive displacement of the soft story. The AMD makes the behavior of the non-optimal BMD close to that of the optimal BMD and improves damping performance by the proposed control method, which is based on Model Predictive Control (MPC). Through the results of numerical analysis and shaking table test, it is demonstrated that the proposed method can mitigate the responses of the non-optimal BMD.
