For this study, different mixtures of concrete were prepared by adding two types of superplasticizers and calcium nitrate inhibitor, in different concentrations. The results of the Cl- ions test showed that all the samples, after an immersion testing period of six months, contained high concentrations of Cl- ions.

The aim of this paper is to develop a proposition – main tasks, of implementing the lean construction concept based on normalized quality management systems, in organizations operating in the construction industry. The research was carried out using documentation analysis, interviews, and a self-assessment method, consistent with ISO 9004.

For this purpose, self-compacting concrete mixes were prepared by the utilization of olive waste ash, in three different proportions and with two different dosages of superplasticizer. Alongside compressive and tensile strengths analysis, a series of three-point bending tests on notched beams were conducted for all mixes. Moreover, initial defects of all self-compacting mixes were evaluated by using the X-ray computed tomography method.
