This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of significant studies published on coupled buildings. The approach of connecting two adjacent buildings has been effectively applied to reduce structural responses of a coupled building which is subjected to seismic excitation. The coupled building control utilizes two adjacent structures to transfer dynamic force which is applied to each other in order to reduce critical responses. The aim of this article is to review technologies and methods in structural connection of coupled buildings which are classified as (a) rigid (b) passive, (c) semi- active, (d) active, and (e) hybrid. The concepts of these connections are explained and formulated. The comparison, application and feature of connections are tabulated. Finally, some approaches to enhance the performance of connections and draw backs of studies are suggested.

本文介绍了有关耦合建筑物的重要研究的最新进展。连接两个相邻建筑物的方法已被有效地应用，以减少遭受地震激励的耦合建筑物的结构响应。耦合的建筑控制系统利用两个相邻的结构来传递相互施加的动态力，以减少临界响应。本文的目的是回顾耦合建筑物的结构连接中的技术和方法，这些技术和方法分为（a）刚性（b）被动，（c）半主动，（d）主动和（e）混合动力。对这些连接的概念进行了解释和表述。连接的比较，应用和功能都以表格形式列出。最后，
