Professional Interests
Dr. Koubaa field of specialization is pavement engineering. His
research interests lie in the area of design, analysis and
rehabilitation of pavements, instrumentation and modeling of pavement
behavior, construction materials, and wood-cement composites. His
current course topics include statics, mechanics, dynamics,
construction materials and transportation.
