The authors propose a method of the real-time hybrid testing on a building for active mass dampers (AMDs). This method makes it possible to verify both the control performance of AMDs and the stability of AMDs during strong winds that continue for a long period. We conducted a verification test for AMDs by using our proposed method on a 30-story steel building. It was verified that two AMDs were stably controlled at the same time and the vibration amplitude of the 3rd mode that was mainly controlled by these AMDs was effectively reduced.
