Corrosion of steel reinforcement significantly reduces the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs, making them more vulnerable to punching shear failure. This type of failure can lead to sudden and catastrophic collapse of the structure. Despite its critical implications, rese...
