The pointing that facilitates easy draining of water is ______. 

Explanation:

• Struck pointing is a type of pointing where the mortar is recessed slightly below the surface of the masonry.
• The sloping nature of the mortar joint facilitates the easy drainage of water, helping prevent water from collecting in the joints, which could lead to potential damage or weathering of the masonry.

 Additional Information

• Beaded pointing: This type of pointing has a rounded or "beaded" edge. It is primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than drainage, and does not facilitate easy drainage of water.

• Tuck pointing: This technique uses fine mortar, and while it can enhance the appearance of joints, it does not serve the purpose of facilitating water drainage.

• Recessed pointing involves creating a depression or groove at the joint between bricks or stones. This design helps to facilitate the easy drainage of water from the surface, preventing water from accumulating and causing potential damage or degradation of the masonry work.
