This document summarizes the structural analysis of a 2x8 wood beam with a 17 foot span. The beam is made of Douglas Fir-Larch lumber with a No. 1 grade. The analysis found that the maximum bending stress is 2.664 times the allowable stress and the maximum shear stress is 0.833 times the allowable stress. The maximum downward deflection under all loads is 3.229 inches, which is below the limit of 240. Therefore, the 2x8 wood beam meets design requirements.
