Construction industries products have to satisfy fire safety regulation, including technical approvals in fire resistance, by tests in accredited laboratories. Fire resistance tests lay down on a complex protocol, in which full size samples are settled in large furnaces able to reproduce severe time-dependent fire curves. The full-scale mounting and the cost of such tests could be a constraint for their development. In that context, the concept of virtual facility has been developed by Efectis during the VIRGILE project. The use and development of numerical simulation tools are an interesting complement to the fire tests. The developed tool aims to model a fire resistance test including interaction between sample and fire test facility. The virtual facility allows to better analyze and evaluate a large number of technical alternatives in order to find the most efficient technical and economical solutions. Moreover, numerical simulations may improve the testing conditions including thermal stress control and metrology. This paper presents an overview of the main results and applications achieved during the VIRGILE project in ten years.

The active high temperature resistant insulation material is devised to fulfill the specified requirements of the packing material. The complex material K2O.6TiO2 whisker/expanded perlite/resol was prepared in 20mm thickness, its back temperature was stable below 180°C in fire test with its front surface burned by the fire at 950°C—1050°C, but its compressive strength was 4.22MPa and its impact strength was just 0.43 kj/m2 Whereas the back temperature of the complex material Al2(SiO3)3 fiber/resol was stable below 140°C under the same test condition and its density and physical strength can be control. the compressive strength of the complex material Al2(SiO3)3 fiber/resol was between 5.0MPa and 30.0MPa versus the density between 0.75g/cm3 and 1.05g/cm3 while its impact strength was hardly influenced by the density. The thermal coefficient of the material through the fire test became lower. The analysis of its structure and thermal behavior show the complex material prepared possesses the function of active high temperature resistant insulation.

The effect of high temperature additives in intumescent systems was examined in a laboratory environment. A matrix of ceramic fibers/minerals was incorporated into two intumescent systems. The material performance was determined using a series of small-scale propane-fired furnace tests based on the ASTM E119 time-temperature curve for fire tests of building construction and materials. Several formulations were identified using a 15-minute screening fire test before testing for a longer time period.
