You can find more information about this method of building roofs online. The method is often referred to as Latex Concrete or Acrylic Concrete:

Here is a guide in PDF format:

There are some photos and other info here:

And there is a book, Latex Concrete Habitat by Albert Knott and George Nez:

What could be the mixture of latex, cement, sand etc.?

I don't know the ratios used, but I hope Mark Scheuneman may be able to chime in here with his experience. 

Glad this is of interest.
