Mark Randolph is a geotechnical engineer who specialises in foundation systems for offshore structures used by the oil and gas industry. His work — which incorporates analysis, computation, experimentation and software development — has helped to produce more advanced designs for piled foundations.
Other highlights of Mark’s work include research on the finite element analysis of soil penetration. He has also applied plasticity theory to geotechnical design and worked on the foundation issues of calcareous materials off of the Australian Coast.
