Abstract
Studies were performed to choose from different designs to satisfy "buffer requirements" to bring in "smartness" in the design choice. It was observed that for a given span, moment-either ultimate or design state- and given strengths, number of "smart designs" with buffer indications can be generated to satisfy different criteria. This was illustrated with some examples for a typical span and given external moment, modeling either a bridge section or part of a frame member. It was evident that there is no unique design that satisfies all parameters simultaneously.
