This document summarizes the structural analysis of a wood beam. The beam is made of Douglas Fir-Larch grade #2 lumber, fully braced against lateral-torsion buckling. It has a 9.5 foot span and is designed to support a uniform roof load plus two point loads. The analysis found the maximum bending stress is 0.634 times the allowable, the maximum shear stress is 0.298 times the allowable, and the maximum deflection of 0.338 inches is less than the limit. The beam meets design requirements.
