Gerenciamento de riscos segundo o PMBOK aplicado ao projeto de uma barragem de terra

Abstract

The dams present themselves as real challenges to engineering knowledge. The complexity involved in the project brings uncertainties to the solutions adopted. In this way, despite the care and studies used for the construction of dams, failures have always occurred, sometimes with catastrophic consequences. In this sense, the practice of risk management proposes that failures can happen, but they must be managed. The PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide is one of the publications that provides guidelines for the management of individual projects, including the risk management of a project. In this context, this research has as main objective the application of the risk management methodology present in the PMBOK Guide to the management of risks of earth dams by means of the case study of a dam. National legislation on dam safety is also addressed at work in order to guide the development of the methodology employed. After the conclusion of the study, it was verified that the model proposed to be used was very useful, bringing results and suggestions that can be used to manage the risk of the studied dam.
