Recently, the coupled wall systems are employedwidely result fromthe development of high-rise buildings. Owing to the combination of the advantages of steel and concrete, the seismic performance of the hybrid coupled walls (HCWs) have been significantly improved compared to the traditional coupled walls, and ,hence,the HCWs have been the research focus. Based onthe extensive experimental and analytical research on HCW systems over the past several decades,the development of HCW(including the steel coupling beam, replaceable coupling beam and steel truss coupling beam) is reviewedand theprospect for further study and design on the HCWs is presented.
