The cast iron pipe protection of submarine cables has a bump in the connection, so the guide device for checking the position and location of the submarine cable must pass through the curved surface. Since the connection is present at a regular intervals, impact loads are periodically applied, affecting the durability of the guide device. In this study, the design was changed to improve the durability of guide device links. And for the analysis of the durability for link of guide device, the flexible dynamic analysis of the guide device was performed using MSC.Adams, and the dynamic stress acting on the link was calculated using MSR(Modal Stress Recovery) method. As a result, the dynamic stress is reduced by 17.9%~31.1%. In addition, durability was calculated for the initial model and the improved model. As a result, the durability of the new model was improved more than 200 % better than to the initial model.

An underwater cable guide device which is using the caterpillar movement to move smoothly along the slippery and curved surface of the cast iron pipe was developed. We performed structural analysis with maximum stress and structural safety for the designed guide device. As a result of the structural analysis, the maximum stress occurred between the connecting link and the pin, and it was confirmed that it was structurally safe by satisfying the safety factor of 2.5 or more. In addition, we performed modal analysis to find out the possibility of resonance between the guide device and motor for driving the Caterpillar. The natural frequency of guide device was calculated to be higher than the frequency of motor ,so no resonance was found. We tested performance of the developed guide device, the target performance was satisfied in the watertight test, salt spray test, vibration test, and durability test.

최근 들어 인천대교 등 다수의 사장교가 공용 또는 시공 중에 있으며 이러한 시점에서 국내 사장교의 기술력을 살펴본다면 시공기술은 눈에 띄게 발전하였지만 설계기술은 아직 국외 의존도가 매우 높은 실정이다. 사장교 핵심설계요소들 중 케이블 정착구조는 강력한 케이블 장력의 작용으로 국부적인 응력집중현상이 발생하므로 안전성 확보를 위해서는 반드시 국부상세해석에 의한 설계가 요구된다. 하지만 명확한 설계기준이나 이론적 설계 없이 유한요소해석에만 의존하여 설계하는 실정이며 정착구조의 이론적 기본메커니즘을 이해하지 못한 채 유한요소해석 결과에만 의존, 엔지니어의 판단력이 흐려지는 부작용을 가져오고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 케이블 정착구조 가이드 파이프앵커 형식 중 정착강관의 기존 이론적인 설계절차를 나타내고 추가적으로 고려해야 할 사항들을 국내외 설계기준에 따라 정리하고 보완 설계절차를 제시하였다.
