The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of three constitutive soil models, i.e. the Morh-Coulomb model (MC model), the Hardening Soil model (HS model), and the Lade model (LD model), implemented in PLAXIS, for predicting ground movements induced by a deep excavation. A case history of deep excavation in Macau was adopted for the numerical analyses in this study. Site investigation data and empirical equations were used to determine input parameters. The observed data were compared with the calculated results at different phases. The comparison showed that the HS and LD models yield better predictions of the wall deflections, while the MC model gives less favorable results.
