Suppose the required TFIFRM thickness for a truss is 50 mils. What is the maximum thickness determination you can record on the report?

The question tests how tolerances around a required thickness are handled in reporting. If the required TFIFRM thickness is 50 mils and the tolerance is ±10 mils, the acceptable range is 40 to 60 mils. The maximum you can record, while staying within that tolerance, is 60 mils. Recording 70 mils would exceed the tolerance, and 40 mils or 50 mils are within range but not the maximum. Thus 60 mils is the correct maximum value to report.
