The resistance to fatigue cracking affects directly the lifespan of asphaltic pavements. In order to improve the fatigue performance of HMA mixes, additives have been incorporated into the asphalt binder. The hardening of the asphalt binder induced by additives, as a rule, increases the rutting resistance, but, on the other hand, it is not clearly known which are their effects on the resistance of asphalt binders to fatigue and thermal cracking. One of the main actual challenges for researchers is the development of a rapid test procedure to determine the fatigue resistance of asphalt binder in the laboratory. In the time line of the development of fatigue tests, Bahia et al. (2001) proposed the time-sweep test. Afterward, Johnson (2010) developed the LAS test (Linear Amplitude Sweep), in which a model that correlates the fatigue life of asphalt binders to the load applied is adjusted. More recently, Hintz (2012) proposed some changes in the LAS test procedure, establishing the modified LAS and a new method to analyze the results. Based on these recent developments, this work aims to introduce the most recent procedures (time sweep, original LAS and modified LAS) to evaluate the fatigue behavior of asphalt binders, exemplifying its applicability in the characterization of modified asphalt binders.
