To apply smart structures to buildings, a new vibration control strategy is proposed for flexural-shear type frame structures with smart structures using piezoelectric actuators. Actuators are incorporated in columns, and the response of the entire structure is reduced by control of the bending moment and axial force of the columns. Combined application of these two controls is performed by arrangement of actuators. Two control strategies were tested: one involves the use of a model matching method and the other is based on control theory. Excitation tests were conducted with a four-storey frame structure with a total weight of 2000 kg and a height of 3.7 m, having H-section steel beams incorporating actuators as columns. The effectiveness of combined use of bending moment control and axial force control of columns with smart structures was confirmed.
