A Joint Committee on Simply Supported Steel Bridges was formed in May, 1936, as between the Institution of Structural Engineers and the Institution of Civil Engineers. The constitution of the Committee is as follows:-

In five of these schemes, six bridges in all, certain advantages have been obtained by the adoption of the portal frame. Space does not permit of a detailed description of these bridges, and only those featmes which illustrate the advantages obtained from the portal frame, or which are otherwise of special interest, will be described.
