Fatigue resistance is tested using laboratory methods like the four-point bending beam test, indirect tensile fatigue test, or using an Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT). These tests simulate repeated loading to determine how many cycles the asphalt can withstand before cracking, reflecting its durability under traffic loads.
