In this paper, a fuzzy control scheme is proposed to control the response of a three degree of freedom system under earthquake excitation. The system is equipped with three MR dampers with one for each degree of freedom, i.e., floor. The system comprises an optimization component which identifies the most optimum firing sequence of the MR dampers in order to achieve the best controlled response. It is envisaged that not all three MR dampers are fired simultaneously; only selected ones are fired as per the decision of the optimization scheme. A comparative analysis is, finally, conducted in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.
