This technical note describes a case history of pile load tests for the Calgary Air Terminal building. One drilled, cast-in-place, concrete caisson, socketed into bedrock, and compacted expanded-base concrete piles were tested and evaluated to select a pile type that would support column loads up to 6700 kN. This note describes the pile test program, interprets the load test results, and summarizes the pile specifications and installation. Keywords: building foundation, piles, load testing, interpretation, installation.

Background. There are few reports of HIV viral load (VL) testing among patients on ART in Vietnam.Methods. From a public clinic in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), we reviewed cases of VL measurements from adults on ART.Results. We identified 228 cases. Median age was 30 years (27–34), 85% were male, and 77% had a history of IDU. The mean ART duration was 26 months (95% CI 25–27); d4T/3TC/NVP was the most common regimen. Viral suppression was seen in 160/228 (70%). Viremia (>1000 copies/mL) was associated with prior ART exposure (OR 5.68, ) and immunologic failure (OR 4.69, ). Targeted testing accounted for 13% of cases, only half of which yielded viremia.Conclusion. We demonstrate a high HIV suppression rate among patients on ART in HCMC, Vietnam. In this setting, routine testing detects viremia missed by targeted testing.
