1Introduction

Crackingisoneofthemostinfluentialdistressesthatgoverntheservicelifeofasphaltconcretepavements.Sincecrackingleadstowaterpenetration,therebyweakeningthefoundationofthepavementstructureandcontributingtoincreasedroughness,anumberofstudieshavebeenconductedtoobtainabetterunderstandingofcrackingmechanismsinasphaltconcretepavements.Asolidunderstandingofthemechanismsofcrackgrowthisessentialtopredictpavementperformanceinthecontextofthicknessdesign,aswellasinthedesignandoptimizationofmixtures.Top-downcrackinasphaltpavementshasbeenreportedasawidespreadmodeoffailure.Recently,moststudiesontop-downcrackofasphaltpavementshavefocusedontheinitiation（Svasdisantetal.,2002;

Wangetal.,2003）,butthemechanismsfortop-downcrackpropagationhavenotbeencompletelyexplained,onlylittleliteratureinvolved（Sangpetngametal.,2004;

Maoetal.,2004）.Thetheoryoffracturemechanicshasbeenusedasabasisforpredictingcrackgrowthinasphaltmixtures.Butthecomplexityoftheproblemandthelackofsimple-to-useanalysistoolshavebeenobstaclestoabetterunderstandingofhot-mixasphaltfracturemechanics.Untiltoday,thewell-knownfiniteelement（FE）methodhasbeentheprimarytoolusedformodelingcracksandtheireffectsinmixturesandpavements（Songetal.,2006）.Unfortunately,itisbothcomplexandnumericallyintensiveforfracturemechanicsapplications.Someresearcherspredictedcrackgrowthinasphaltmixtureswiththeboundaryelementmethod（BEM）（Sangpetngametal.,2004）,buttheBEMisnotcapableofdealingwiththemulti-mediumissuesandcomplicatednonlinearproblems.TheelementfreeGalerkin（EFG）methodisadvantageousinsolvingmovingboundaryproblems,suchasmodelingofgrowingcracks.FundamentallyinEFG,astructuredmeshisnotused,sinceonlyascatteredsetofnodalpointsisrequiredinthedomainofinterest.Thisfeaturepresentssignificantimplicationsformodelingfracturepropagation,becausethedomainofinterestiscompletelydiscretizedbyasetofnodes.Sincenoelementconnectivitydataareneeded,theburdensomeremeshingrequiredbytheFEmethodcanbeavoided.AlthoughEFGisattractiveforsimulatingcrackpropagation,itcostsmorecomputationaltimethanaregularFE,andtheimpositionoftheessentialboundaryconditionsiscomplicated.Furthermore,duetothelevelofmaturityandcomprehensivecapabilitiesofFE,itisoftenadvantageoustouseEFGonlyinthesub-domainswhereitscapabilitiescanbeexploitedefficiently.Inthiswork,acombinationofcoupledEFGandFEmodelingandfracturemechanicswasselectedforphysicalrepresentationandanalysisofapavementwithagrowingtop-downcrack,andtheeffectonthecrackpropagationofstructuralparameterswasanalyzed.
