A permanent mold apparatus for accepting concrete, and a method of casting buildings and large dimensioned structures monolithically in situ. The mold apparatus encases the monolithic concrete structure, insulates the walls of the cast in situ concrete structure, and provides false ceilings under floor and roof slabs. The concrete is cast continuously to fill the mold apparatus to produce a homogeneous, jointless, protectively encased concrete structure. The mold apparatus includes self supporting panelized footing and foundation assemblies, cavity wall assemblies, column assemblies, truss-girder floor and roof slab platform support assemblies, and internal partition assemblies comprised of interlocking hollow panel members, end plates, perforated tie plates and connecting hubs that mechanically bond together to form a self-supporting, watertight, insulated permanent mold with openings and cavities and platforms into and onto which concrete fill is cast continuously in situ to produce a homogeneous, jointless concrete structure permanently encased and protected by the mold apparatus. The only part of the finished concrete structure not encased may be the floor and roof surfaces. The connection joints of the various panel and connecting members of the mold apparatus are interlocking tongue and grooves which removably slide into one another longitudinally but prevent disconnection in direction other than the longitudinal direction. Flexible filaments are provide that extend outwards from the ends of protruding tongue elements in the interlocking key/keyway assemblies to provide a water tight seal.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for constructing an encased monolithic concrete structure in situ comprising the steps of:erecting at least a first panelized mold assembly for a concrete footing,erecting at least a second panelized mold assembly for a vertical concrete structure, wherein each panelized mold assembly defines a void,joining said first and second panelized mold assemblies to each other forming an integrated self supporting panelized mold apparatus in situ, wherein the voids or cavities defined by each of the mold assemblies are in communication with each other thereby defining a void for the entire structure,placing concrete fill into said molded void for the entire structure,leaving said panelized mold apparatus in place to become an integral part of the completed monolithic structure.
