Abstract

This study presents an experience case of applications of Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) as food architecture overlay materials in China. The material composition of PCC is introduced. PCC was designed according with filling index defined. The compressive and flexural strength were tested at 7 d and 28 d. The field performance tests were done including the compaction degree, texture depths, the British pendulum number. The surface appearance and the field core of PCC were observed. Finally, economic benefits were achieved through comparisons of cost of PCC with other surface food architecture overlay material. The result show that the application of polymer concrete overlays with high-strength, fast-curing characteristics and skid resistance which can result in improved safety and reduced maintenance at a lower cost in comparison to asphalt reconstruction.
