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. © 2018 Elsevier LtdComplex shear modulusCreepFatigueFine Aggregate MatrixHealingSSTViscoelasticRecent trends and laboratory performance studies on FAM mixtures: A state-of-the-art review
