In this paper, an Active Mass Drive system (AMD) is used as vibration control device for reducing structural response of the UTS five storey international benchmark model under 1940 El Centro earthquake. A robust fuzzy sliding mode controller based on state feedback is proposed as control strategy for controlling the AMD and reducing structural response due to seismic loading. The controller, combining equivalent control, switching control and fuzzy logic control maximizes the advantages of sliding mode control and fuzzy logical control to provide robustness and at the same time minimize the chattering effects. A numerical simulation using MATLAB is conducted to compare the proposed control scheme to other control strategies in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law.
