Built-Up Wood Posts
(OP)
I have an existing post that is failing. I would like to "beef up" the post by adding 2x lumber on two sides of the post. Has anyone done this before? Would you analyze it like a built-up column and use section 15.3 of the NDS?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
