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.

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
