Parameter values for the exponential-time law are presented for Avery Island salt. These parameter values supersede those given in a previous report. The parameter values given previously for Avery Island were determined from a data base that included results from a number of creep tests whose duration was too short to give valid constitutive parameters. The old data base was screened to eliminate invalid test results and several additional creep tests were performed to provide data at low temperature and low stress. Some of the new constitutive parameters are substantially different from those given previously. 8 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
