In　this　study,　the　plastic　coupled　cohesive　model　and　enhanced　virtual　crack　closure　technique　(VCCT)　are　used　to　investigate　the　fracture　behaviour　of　the　basalt　fibre　reinforced　asphalt　concrete　(BFRAC).　In　the　plastic　coupled　cohesive　model,　the　separation　and　traction　response　along　the　cohesive　zone　advance　ahead　of　a　crack　tip　is　governed　by　an　exponential　cohesive　law.　The　double-K　fracture　theory　is　integrated　into　the　enhanced　VCCT　model.　It　is　shown　that　the　simulated　load-cracking　mouth　opening　displacement　(P-CMOD)　curves　from　both　the　plastic　coupled　cohesive　model　and　the　enhanced　VCCT　model　compares　favourably　with　the　measured　curves　from　the　single-edge　notched　beam.　The　parameters　used　in　the　plastic　coupled　cohesive　model　cannot　directly　be　obtained　from　the　standard　test,　and　the　inverse　analysis　method　is　always　necessary　for　identifying　the　fracture　parameters.　On　the　contrary,　the　fracture　parameters　in　the　enhanced　VCCT　method　can　be　directly　calculated　from　the　P-CMOD　curves　based　on　the　double-K　fracture　theory　and　the　finite　plastic　fracture　theory　(Hutchinson,　Rice,　Rosengren　singular　crack　tip　fields,　abbreviated　as　HRR　field).　Meanwhile,　compared　with　the　plastic　coupled　cohesive　model,　the　enhanced　VCCT　model　coupled　with　the　Ramberg-Osgood　elasto-plastic　harden　model　is　promising　for　investigating　the　physical　mechanism　underlying　the　nonlinear　fracture　of　BFRAC.　This　paper　proposed　two　concrete　and　valuable　models　in　the　finite　element　method　for　simulating　the　fracture　behaviour　of　the　huge　structure　with　asphalt　and　asphalt　concrete.
