 A similar study investigating the residual bending moment of corroded reinforcing beams can be found at: https://github.com/bma114/corroded-RC-beam-moment-capacity
 
 The study also includes an example application allowing users to input new corroded beam data and make predictions using the best-performing models for each response variable. It can be accessed at: https://github.com/bma114/Corroded_Beam_Bending_Prediction
