The authors give a full analysis of the causes of shrinkage deformations of cement stone in concrete. It is shown that the total amount of shrinkage deformations is composed of moisture and carbonation shrinkage, which is the result of carbon dioxide corrosion of cement stone. A method of forced carbonization is proposed to determine the value of carbonization shrinkage, it is shown that in the presence of carbonate additives Portland cement decreases the scale of carbonization shrinkage of cement stone. According to the authors, the cause of carbonation shrinkage during the service of cement stone are chemical reactions occurring during carbon dioxide corrosion and accompanied by the transfer of part of the chemically bound water to the free state.
