In order to establish a universal method for developing mechanical behavior master curve of asphalt base materials， a two-stage method was proposed to separate the drawing and fitting of the master curve into two independent stages according to the definition of the master curve. Using the test data of base a phalt， the fitting effect of the two-stage method and the standard method in drawing the master curve was compared. The robustness of the two-stage method in drawing the master curve was verified by using the test data of asphalt mortar and rubber. The results show that the two-stage method overcomes the defect of the standard method which requires the assumption of the master curve model and the shift factor equation. The accuracy of the master curve model can be tested in the master curve fitting stage and can be used to optimize the master curve model or the shift factor equation. The two-stage method is not only suitable for developing mechanical behavior master curve for asphalt base materials with time-temperature superposition characteristics， but also for non-asphalt base materials.
