ABSTRACT
The given work represents the research on external monolithic walls installed in vertical position with simultaneous implementation of facing works. Along with research of light concrete structure and properties for monolithic construction, joint work of concrete monolithic walls facing, installed in panel forms, was ex-amined. The research includes the joint work of facing with various stones with mono-lithic wall concrete. It also determines wall bearing ability. Wall fragments with facing samples were tested for axial compression. The work comprises test results of 12 wall fragments in the size of 100 x 45 x 30 cm, faced with tuff, basalt or traver-tine plates, and the chart of fragment deformation. The offered methods of simul-taneous facing of external monolithic walls have technological and constructive ad-vantages over the traditional method of subsequent facing.
