In the cross-section of a weld, throat is the A. Minimum dimension B. Average dimension C. Maximum dimension D. None of the above

The correct answer is: A. Minimum dimension

The throat of a weld is the minimum dimension of the weld cross-section perpendicular to the direction of loading. It is the effective area of the weld that resists the applied load.

The average dimension of the weld cross-section is not a meaningful measure of the weld’s strength, as it includes areas of the weld that are not contributing to load resistance. The maximum dimension of the weld cross-section is also not a meaningful measure of the weld’s strength, as it includes areas of the weld that are not in direct contact with the load-bearing member.
