Fatigue　cracking　is　one　of　the　main　distresses　in　asphalt　pavement　and　its　deterioration　directly　impacts　the　service　and　safety　during　the　life　cycle　of　road　infrastructure.　Recently,　the　fatigue　characteristic　of　asphalt　binder　and　its　contribution　to　the　anti-fatigue　performance　of　asphalt　pavement　are　gradually　getting　more　attentions.　Focusing　and　analyzing　the　fatigue　and　fracture　characteristics　of　asphalt　binder　is　of　great　significance　for　the　national　realization　of　long-life　asphalt　pavement　in　the　future.　In　recent　years,　various　laboratory　testing　methods　and　data　modeling　approaches　have　been　developed　for　the　binder　fatigue　and　fracture　performance　evaluation,　whereas　the　corresponding　specification　system　has　not　been　fully　established.　For　the　testing　protocol,　the　accelerated　fatigue　procedures　such　as　the　linear　amplitude　sweep　have　been　gradually　implemented　and　verified　with　the　time　sweep　fatigue　test.　Regarding　to　the　data　interpretation,　the　applications　of　the　linear　viscoelastic　characteristics,　dissipated　energy,　pseudo　strain　energy　and　fracture　mechanics　gradually　drive　the　studies　of　binder　fatigue　and　fracture　from　empiricism　to　accuracy.　This　paper　systematically　reviews　the　recent　developments　on　binder　fatigue　and　fracture　testing　protocols,　damage　characterizing　approaches　and　fatigue　life　predictive　models,　followed　by　summarizing　the　existing　problems　and　future　prospects　in　this　research　area.　This　review　would　provide　help　and　reference　for　the　ongoing　development　of　fatigue　resistance　design　and　long-life　asphalt　pavement　technology.　©　2024　Cailiao　Daobaoshe/　Materials　Review.　All　rights　reserved.
