Benjamin Beerman, P.E., senior'structural engineer at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), addressed attendees at COMPOSITES 2012 yesterday on the infrastructure market. Beerman doesn't know very much about composites, he builds bridges, but he knows a lot about what products are in demand and how composites could help.
