It will depend upon the design, but assuming that the design makes use of a cantilevered floor slab with metal supports, beams or reinforcement, then most likely yes. PaintSquare has shown us many examples in the past where cathodic protection was not used or failed, resulting in catastrophic slab failures, injuries and even deaths.
