PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle body strength control apparatus for appropriately controlling the strength state of a vehicle body beam. SOLUTION: A control unit 75 estimates collision energy generated when a host vehicle collides or makes contact with another object based on signals inputted from an external sensor 62 and a vehicle state quantity sensor 63. At a point in time when it is determined that there is a possibility of a collision or contact occurring between the host vehicle and another object, or alternatively, at the point in time when a collision or contact between the hose vehicle and another object is actually detected, actuators 46 are driven in a strength mode that corresponds to the strength of a strength adjusting device 22 required to absorb the previously estimated collision energy.
