Data Science and Interactive Visualization Tools for the Analysis of Qualitative Evidence empowers qualitative and mixed methods researchers in the data science movement by offering no-code, cost-free software access so that they can apply cutting-edge and innovative methods to synthetize qualitative data. The book builds on the idea that qualitative and mixed methods researchers should not have to learn to code to benefit from rigorous open-source, cost-free software that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data visualization tools—just as people do not need to know C++ or TypeScript to benefit from Microsoft Word.The real barrier is the hundreds of R code lines required to apply these concepts to their databases. By removing the coding proficiency hurdle, this book will empower their research endeavors and help them become active members of and contributors to the applied data science community. The book offers a comprehensive explanation of data science and machine learning methodologies, along with access to software application tools to implement these techniques without any coding proficiency. The book addresses the need for innovative tools that enable researchers to tap into the insights that come out of cutting-edge data science tools with absolutely no computer language literacy requirements.

Multiscale Modelling of Concrete covers all things concrete, including comprehensive discussions on this multi-phase and multi-scale material that is difficult to model and understand due to its heterogeneity. Thus, knowing the properties and modeling concrete in different scales is essential to predict properties and fracture. Most of the research has been focused on meso scale, or the methods available to model and predict micro-scale properties are not linked to experimental methods, so properties for microscale cannot be derived and it is onerous to validate such methods.Considering the above constraints, the book covers different modelling techniques of scales of concrete - macro, meso, micro/nano and molecular level, characterizing mechanical properties and parameters required for modelling using macro and micro level experiments and linking these levels using analytical and numerical methods to upscale results from micro to the macro level.
