Herrmann, W; Lauson, H S

Data from creep tests conducted on natural rock salt from Lyons, Kansas, Jefferson Island, Louisiana and Avery Island, Louisiana are analyzed using an exponential transient creep law. Steady-state creep rates are fitted to a thermally activated stress-power law, while transient creep parameters are fitted to a model which relates them to steady-state creep rates. The results are compared with previous results for salt from the Salado formation in the WIPP study area in Southeastern New Mexico.
