In this paper, the application of an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) is studied for controlling the earthquake induced vibration of buildings using a sliding mode control (SMC). Since the structural system may have uncertainties and/or parameter changes, the sliding mode control has been preferred because of its robust character. Additionally, this control method can easily be applied to non-linear systems. The time history of the base and top floor displacements, control force input and frequency responses of both the uncontrolled and sliding mode of a realistic 9-storey building model controlled by the ATMD are presented at the end of the study. The earthquake ground motion used is obtained using the seismic data of the Marmara Earthquake (Mw = 7.4) in Turkey in August 17th, 1999.
