What is the throat thickness (a) of a fillet weld?
The effective throat thickness is the shortest distance from the root of the joint to the face of the diagrammatic weld, typically a = leg length / √2 (approx. 0.707 × s).
Verify fillet weld throat thickness (a), longitudinal shear stress and transverse tensile allowable loads according to Eurocode 3 and AWS D1.1.
