I'm Zahidul Hoque Joy, a Structural Engineer with a passion for turning complex challenges into meaningful engineering solutions.
I believe structural engineering is more than calculations and codes — it is about creating a safer, more resilient, and sustainable built environment. My professional journey has shaped this perspective, while my academic and research interests continue to push me toward deeper exploration and innovation.
My vision is to bridge engineering practice and research to help shape the next generation of resilient and sustainable structures.
Investigated the mechanical properties and sustainability potential of sandcrete blocks as an alternative to traditional fired-clay bricks. The study compared fresh characteristics, mechanical strength, and durability, demonstrating the promising performance of sandcrete blocks for more sustainable and resource-efficient construction.
Beyond calculations and structural models lies a passion for art — pencil portraits, digital illustrations, and expressive line work. Each piece is a different kind of engineering: building emotion, form, and story from a blank canvas.
Available for structural engineering projects, creative collaborations, and consultations. Let's connect.
