Abstract
In evaluating the concrete finishings, people depend not only on visual sense but also on the tactile one. This paper focuses on the relation of visual-tactile response with visual one and with tactile one.
As a conclusion, the perception of finishing variously changes with the distance between people and the material. People feel the material richer, which looks different with the change of distance. Within a close distance, the finishing that looks soft wins a good evaluation, but the evaluation drastically changes with the touch of the material. Visual-tactile comfort for concrete finishing needs surface with tactile smoothness and visual richness. It is reason the tactile response plays a crucial role on the perception of visual-tactile sense.The tactile response of concrete simply shows a linear relationship with the smooth degree of the surface. Therefore, the finishing is divided into two kinds. The finishing with smooth surface makes people comfort, and this is important on the difference of temperature.
