It appears that the size factor, CF, allows for Fb of a 2x4 to be increased by a factor of 1.5. (2x6's & 2x8's get bumped up by 1.3.) Am I reading that correctly? It seems like a lot. Also, why is it needed? Why aren't the referenced design values simply increased in the first place? What am I missing? Thanks.
