This　paper　investigated　the　damage　healing,　local　life　compensation　and　intrinsic　healing　characteristics　of　asphalt　binder.　The　damage　healing　(Delta　S)　is　independent　of　damage　level　and　the　percent　local　life　compensation　(%Delta　N)　increases　with　a　higher　strain　amplitude　in　TSH　test.　The　integrated　Delta　S-Delta　N　analysis　is　recommended　for　the　healing　compensation　characterization.　The　totally　stored　pseudo　strain　energy　(PSE)　to　counteract　healing　recovery　is　linearly　linked　to　the　Delta　S　regardless　of　the　loading　modes,　strain　amplitudes　and　rest　periods.　A　new　parameter　of　average　stored　PSE　(QH)　is　proposed　to　reveal　the　intrinsic　healing　potential　and　characteristics.
