Resumo (PT): An elastoplastic model is used to study the failure mechanisms of nailed walls during construction. These mechanisms may be determined by the soil-reinforcement bond resistance or by the failure of the nails. Theoretical analyses of the question currently ignore the ductility of the nails although it can play an important role in the behaviour of the reinforced mass. The paper discusses the influence of this property and shows that in real works, in which ductile nails are ordinary used, nail rupture is most unlikely to occur.
