Deep excavation supported by vertical retaining walls together with strutting system is commonly used in Singapore for the construction of underground infrastructure. In this paper, a series of numerical scenarios simulated by PLAXIS software are carried out to study the influence of different design parameters such as pre-auger loosening effect, the embedded depth of retaining wall into the stiff soil layer, and the elastic modulus of the ground improvement layer on excavation design especially on strut force, retaining wall deflection, and bending moment. The results show that there is high risk if only a single set of parameters are used as input to predict the performance of the retaining system. Sensitivity analysis shall be carried out to evaluate the effects of these parameter variations within a reasonable range on strut force, retaining wall deflection, and bending moment.
