This symbol indicates that the two RHS components are to be joined by a full penetration vee butt weld all around the joint.
The weld shown in Figure 6.8-7 Bridge Traffic Rail Post to Base Plate is a critical structural weld and its conformance to specification is vital to the performance of bridge traffic rail posts under load. This is a complete penetration butt weld (compound butt weld placed first followed by a fillet weld). Refer Figure 6.8-8 Combination Butt and Fillet Welds for description. The weld shown in Figure 6.8-9 Bridge Traffic Rail Post to Anchor Plate describes the welds to connect the bridge traffic rail posts and anchor plates.
