http://www.fine.cz/ or Plaxis and similar. ATENA has no direct support for the concepts of active and passive earth pressure, but it can be (and frequently is) used for nonlinear analysis of structures including rock and soils, like tunnels, foundations, or underground tanks. Simply said, you can either model a small part and apply the "far field" pressure as a load, or include the overburden in your model and apply its dead weigth (of course, the boudary conditions frequently need special attention).

I have to model and underground structrure and I do not know if the Drucker-Prager material can be modified to model the active and passive lateral earth pressure.

Thanks
