NCHRP Web-Only Document 134: An Experimental Plan for Validation of an Endurance Limit for HMA Pavements for determining allowable strain limits that result in complete healing will be developed in Experiment 4. This experiment will include testing and analysis of selected mixtures from Experiment 1 and mixtures used in the endurance limit testing completed in NCHRP Project 938.

... NCHRP Web-Only Document 134: An Experimental Plan for Validation of an Endurance Limit for HMA Pavements The allowable strain limit design procedure will be calibrated and validated using in-service pavement sections. It is important to recognize that the allowable strain limit design procedure is not intended to be a tool for predicting the extent of bottom initiated cracking with time and traffic like the MEPDG fatigue model.

... NCHRP Web-Only Document 134: An Experimental Plan for Validation of an Endurance Limit for HMA Pavements advantage of jackknifing is the goodness of fit statistics are based on predictions of measurements that are not included in the calibration. They are, therefore, better estimates of the accuracy of future predictions than goodness of fit statistics based on calibration using the full data set.
