Re: Rusted I-beam
I'd be more concerned with the metal decking above.

I've seen that used for many roofs and, in the condition shown in the photo, it is 'not good'. Now, though, consider that it "supports a corner of the garage slab" ... whoa! Vehicles will be driving on that, and they are not light!

That 'could have been' used 'only as' a form, however, it is more likely that it was used 'also as structural support' for the garage slab.
