Metodologias de Priorização em Engenharia Diagnóstica: Um Comparativo entre GUT e FMEA em Inspeções Prediais

Abstract

Bearing in mind the importance of building inspections for preserving the service life of edifications, particularly regarding identifying non-conformities and classifying them according to type, risk level, and the use of prioritization tools, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of two risk management methodologies: the Gravity, Urgency, and Trend (GUT) Matrix and the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. The objective is to determine which method more effectively defines the prioritization of pathological manifestations. For this purpose, a building with a service life between 50% and 100% of its estimated lifespan was selected. An questionnaire-based interview was applied, and a building inspection was carried out, enabling a comparative analysis based on collected data through statistical methods such as influence factors, positional deviations, and distribution analysis using a Box Plot. Consequently, the results suggest that the GUT Matrix is more suitable for corrective building inspections, while the FMEA method proves to be more effective in preventive inspections.
