Although CAP are well integrated within the cementitious matrix, their inclusion promotes a reduction in the mechanical performance so CAP could act as weak points. However, the inclusion of these additions refines pore distribution thus increasing the expected durability in aggressive media. An effective autonomous self-healing capacity is assessed/confirmed which is unexpectedly higher in the concretes with the lower healing additions content studied. This capacity depends on the crack width and the healing period considered.10enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2017.02.015CharacterizationDurabilityEncapsulated additionsHigh performance concreteMechanical performanceSelf-healing concreteSelf-healing concreteHigh performance concreteEncapsulated additionsCharacterizationMechanical performanceDurabilityCivil and Structural EngineeringBuilding and ConstructionGeneral Materials ScienceFunding InfoBIA2011-29234-C02-01 Project, funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad)_x000D_ Basque Government through the PI2012-23 Project and Nanoiker Project (Grant No. E11-304) within the Etortek_x000D_ programme and under the umbrella of the Baskrete initiative.BIA2011-29234-C02-01 Project, funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad)_x000D_ Basque Government through the PI2012-23 Project and Nanoiker Project (Grant No. E11-304) within the Etortek_x000D_ programme and under the umbrella of the Baskrete initiative.http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85013191674&partnerID=8YFLogxK
