The basement of a high-rise building is the optimal space for technical systems and parking. However, the construction in narrow urban areas usually has many unstable hazards. In this study, a numerical model has been established and calibrated using the finite element method on Plaxis 2D software that allowed well control of the design and construction processes of the Madison Building basement. The model covers all structural elements and complex engineering geology conditions. Displacements of the excavation wall and surrounding ground base subsidence were analyzed corresponding to the constructive phases of three basements. The analysis results of the numerical model were consistent with the actual construction process that is useful for design and constructive controlling of the excavation wall.
