✦ Synopsis

The authors are engaged in a long-term research project studying the potential of fuzzy control strategies for active structural control in civil engineering applications. The advantage of this approach is its inherent robustness and its ability to handle the non-linear behaviour of the structure. Moreover, the computations for driving the controller are quite simple and can easily be implemented into a fuzzy chip. In this paper attention is focused on the response of a three-storey frame, subjected to earthquake excitation, controlled by an active mass driver located on the top floor. The design and the implementation of the controller driving the AMD system are discussed. 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Passive supplemental damping in a seismically isolated structure provides the necessary energy dissipation to limit the isolation system displacement. However, damper forces can become quite large as the passive damping level is increased, resulting in the requirement to transfer large forces at the
