Why do we mostly use green and white colored GI sheets for roofing and side cladding of industrial sheds? Why are there no other color combinations?

    Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?

    The seasoning of bricks is exactly expressed as allowing the brick to absorb water. It is also known as weathering of bricks. The moisture obtained by the bricks should be able to react with the chemical in the brick. If the moisture obtained by the brick is in its limit and any swelling or deterioration is observed to weed out this damaged brick. Then only sound bricks that are seasoned are used.

    Declination:

    I am providing more additional information about the declination, have a look.

    Here, I Attached a diagram of declination, through that we can clearly understand positive as well as negative declination.


    1. Whenever declination is towards the Eastwood direction then that declination is called positive declination.

    2. When a declination is going towards west word direction then it is called negative declination.

    True bearing is the sum of magnetic bearing plus declination.


    Thank you.
