Osterberg Cell load testing was performed on an 8-ft. diameter, 86.0 ft. deep drilled shaft constructed by ADSC-member drilled shaft contractors National Engineering & Contracting Company (Hebron, KY) and Mahan Construction(). The Osterberg Cell test method was specified by the Ohio Department of Transportation with Engineering services provided by Jamal Nusairat of E.L. Robinson Engineering of Ohio Company (Dublin, OH).
