The purpose of this paper is to apply a criterion of fuzzy model for the 3 degrees of freedom buildings. The structure system consists of three floors represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) type fuzzy models. T-S fuzzy models can provide an effective representation of complex nonlinear systems. A stability criterion of the T-S type structure system is derived to check if the system is asymptotically stable. Moreover, this stability problem can be reduced to linear matrix inequalities (LMI) problems in terms of a common Lyapunov function. Solving linear matrix inequalities is a convex optimization problem, and efficient interior-point algorithms are now available to solve this problem. Finally, a numerical example with simulations is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
