What is monolitic concrete?

Posted at: 2014-09-26 
Defined as "concrete that has been cast continuously with no joints other than construction joints".

Basically, it's a continuous concrete slab or beam. In the same family as Image 1 - http://www.emeraldinsight.com/content_im...

Concrete that has all been poured in one piece.

A foundation, for example, is usually done in two pours: the footing first, and after it sets the walls are formed and poured.

A monolithic pour is a method of forming the walls and footing at the same time, and then pouring them at the same time.
