Analysis of creep data for various natural rock salts

Creators

Description

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
