Abstract

Highlights: Review focuses on characterisation of FAM mixtures. An overview of FAM sample fabrication methods is presented. Discussed fundamental assessment of viscoelastic, fatigue and healing properties. FAM sample test using DSR is an innovative technique for assessment of asphalt mixtures. Complex shear modulus and dynamic modulus of FAM and full asphalt mixtures. Abstract: In recent years, the testing and evaluation of Fine Aggregate Matrix (FAM) mixtures using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) which has drawn a growing interest because of its simplicity, reproducibility, and flexibility. However, several research studies have employed various sets of test methods for performance evaluation of FAM mixtures that calls for a critical review of the procedures that have been followed to date. This state-of-the-art review article presents the current work regarding material selection, sample fabrication methods and test methods to evaluate viscoelastic, fracture and healing properties of FAM mixtures.
