Abstract: In the mechanized excavation of tunnels with Tunnel Boring Machines, an ever more frequently used technique worldwide is the Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) technology; during the excavation phases this technology requires continuous injection of chemicals under the form of foam to be mixed with the excavated soil. Since the features of the foam influence significantly the excavation performances...
