Monolithic - shaped from a single block of stone or cast of concrete in an integral pour.
Monotonic - uniformly increasing, noncyclical loading.
The confusion in terms is heightened by this post being made in the ACI Concrete forum.
Monotonic loadings are generally quasi-static. That is, they are applied at a rate such that dynamic effects can be ignored.
