    Acela Architects and Engineers has determined that seismic restraint bracing is not required for any existing buildings at the Central Western Massachusetts VAMC due to the site-specific factors of low seismicity and a Seismic Design Category of "A" or "B". The exemptions from seismic bracing restraint regulations in the VA H-18-8 and RP-8 Standards apply to new or additional nonstructural components in these buildings. However, the campus has the discretion to impose additional requirements if deemed necessary.
