The multiple-muon rates measured in the NUSEX experiment at a vertical depth of 5000 hg/sq cm s.r. are compared with some current models of the primary cosmic-ray composition. Monte Carlo simulations as well as analytical formulas which take into account the geometrical and acceptance features of the apparatus have been used in calculations. A good agreement is found with a model in which the relative fraction of primary heavy nuclei does not increase significantly up to about 10 to the 16th eV. This model reproduces very well both the all-nucleon flux measured in the range (10 to the 13th - 10 to the 14th) eV and the all-particle spectrum up to 10 to the 16th eV.
