An　acoustic　emission　(AE)　approach　to　evaluate　the　fracture　process　of　porous　asphalt　mixture　(PAM)　under　compression　and　splitting　testing　at　different　temperatures　is　presented.　Two　kinds　of　PAM,　styrene-butadiene-styrene　(SBS)-modified　porous　asphalt　mixture　(SBSPAM),　and　crumb　rubber　and　SBS　compound-modified　porous　asphalt　mixture　(CR/SBSPAM),　were　investigated　and　corresponding　failure　load　and　AE　parameters　were　obtained.　Damage　assessments　of　PAM　under　compression　and　splitting　testing　were　carried　out　using　relative　AE　hits　and　energy.　AE　hits　and　energy　had　negative　correlation　with　failure　load.　Damage　processes　of　PAM　under　compression　and　splitting　testing　can　be　classified　into　three　stages　based　on　variation　trends　of　relative　AE　hits　and　energy　with　load　level.　The　softening　effect　caused　by　high　temperature　can　lead　to　acoustic　activity　of　SBSPAM　under　compression　at　a　low　load　level,　and　the　addition　of　CR　can　reduce　the　AE　activity　caused　by　the　softening　effect　by　improving　the　temperature　susceptibility　of　binder.　Change　curves　of　relative　AE　hits　and　energy　of　CR/SBSPAM　are　more　uniform　than　those　of　SBSPAM　because　of　the　more　stable　structure　improved　by　CR　modification.　The　findings　of　this　study　can　provide　references　for　damage　evaluation　of　PAM　using　the　AE　technique.
