Abstract
The physical properties of Uhangri sedimentary rocks were investigated to provide the conservation strategy of Dinosaur trace fossil in the Haenam. The porosity, void ratio, dry density, water content, and degree of saturation were calculated according to the proper laboratory experiments for 9 sedimentary specimens. The flexural strength (or modulus of rupture) and thermal expansion coefficient were measured using the universal testing machine and dilatometer, respectively. The Uhangri sedimentary rocks have very low porosity, void ratio, and water content. The flexural strength of shales are 24.16~42.84, and those of sandstones are 16.34~ $43.52N/mm^2$, which are much weaker than common sedimentary rocks. The very low flexural strength of sedimentary rocks despite very low porosity, is ascribed to fine fissures in the rocks. The thermal expansion coefficient of rocks were $14.7~21.3\Times10^{-6 }$, which are 2~2.5 times as high as alumina and about 10 times as high as talc. As the content of chert in the sandstone increases, the porosity, void ratio, and water content increase, while the dry density and degree of saturation decrease. The chert-bearing sandstone have higher porosity and thermal expansion coefficient, and lower flexural strength compared to those free of chert.
