WORKING GROUP 2 Modelling and benchmarking WG2 PROPOSAL OF TRAINING SCHOOL 2017 | AGNIESZKA KNOPPIK WORKING GROUP 2 Modelling and benchmarking ”WG2 shall focus on the numerical simulation of material/structural behaviour both at early age and during the service life and should strongly interact with the results obtained from WG1.” 2016 – training school organised by WG1 on laboratory testing of CBM, Lyngby, Denmark 2017 – training school organised by WG2 on numerical modelling of CBM and structures What the focus of WG2 is and how we interact with WG1. This year in Copenhagen 1st doctoral school was organised in the topic of WG1. Next year we want to continue this concept. COST ACTION TU1404
