(OP)
i have a residential that is supposed to be a momo but they poured 8" footings and are going to pour the mono on top and the first pour has been poured for a week is there acode referance or a proper way to bond these two together and be struceraly safe to keep home from shifting in the futer thaks

RE: help

What is a "momo" and a "mono"? Reinforcing steel through a construction joint is the usual way to connect the different pours together.  A crack can be assumed to occur anywhere in concrete and that is why no tensile strengths are assumed.

RE: help

Civilperson: The letter "m" is adjacent to the letter "n" in the keyboard....so perhaps it's a typo, and catd meant "mono" as in "monolithic"

Catd: ACI 117 has a definition for monolithic pour. Mitchelon posted it in this thread http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=174046&page=7
