近斷層地震在近年來成為地震工程領域內熱門的研究主題，其原因為在同一次地震中，近斷層區域得到的紀錄與遠場區域得到的紀錄相比，有許多顯著的特徵差異，尤其近斷層地震具有高速度脈衝，可能使建築物產生非預期的破壞。耦合結構牆為一種由兩座以上之結構牆，透過連接梁連結而成之結構系統，在地震頻繁的區域，耦合結構牆常用來增加系統之側向勁度，提升整體的消能容量。現今耦合結構牆之設計方法只適用於一般地震作用下，並未考慮在近斷層地震下之結構行為，本研究以盧威廷(2013)提出之耦合結構牆的性能化設計法為基礎，結合耦合牆系統於近域地震下之設計參數，並提出考慮近斷層效應之側向力分佈形式，發展出一套耦合結構牆之近斷層抗震設計方法，並使用有限元素分析軟體分析結構之行為。本文使用規範強度設計法、盧威廷(2013)性能化設計法以及本研究提出之近斷層性能化設計法，分別建立具有兩種樓層高度(10層樓與30層樓)與兩種耦合率(35%與50%)之耦合結構牆，進行非線性側推分析，與不同層級地震下的非線性動力分析，並以系統層間位移、連接梁與結構牆轉角等結構參數，評估各系統之損壞。結果顯示，本文發展的耦合牆系統，於非線性側推分析下，可以展現理想的降伏機制，發揮良好的抗震消能行為，於近斷層地震作用下，與其他設計法設計之耦合牆系統相比，可以有效降低結構反應的大小，並防止結構牆在中高樓層有相對較大的轉角發生。

Near-fault ground motions, which have caused much more damages than far-field earthquakes in recent major earthquakes, are characterized by a short-duration impulsive motion that exposes the structure to high input energy at the beginning of the record. A coupled wall structure consists of two or more structural walls linked by coupling beams. It is able to provide efficient lateral strength and stiffness, which effectively reduces the drift response of buildings under earthquakes. The current design method of coupled structural walls can only applied to the far-field earthquake. It does not consider the structural behavior under the near-fault earthquake. Based on the performance-based design method of coupled structural walls proposed by Wei-Ting Lu (2013), this study combines the design parameters of coupled structural walls under the near-fault earthquake and proposed lateral load patterns considering the near-fault effect, a near-fault performance-based design method is developed. In the study, twelve coupled structural walls are designed with two height, two coupling ratio and three design methods. Their computational models are also built and analyzed using nonlinear static procedure and nonlinear dynamic procedure. According to the analysis results, the coupled structural walls proposed in the study are able to exhibit satisfactory structural yielding mechanisms and present a good energy dissipation activity. Compare with other design methods mentioned in this study, the near-fault performance-based design methods can reduce the deformation of the structure effectively, and prevent the structural wall from a larger rotation in the high floor.
