IRC 104.11 says "...Compliance with the specific performance-based provisions of the International Codes shall be an alternative to the specific requirements of this code."
What is meant by 'performance-based' and what are those provisions in the Internation Codes?
Does this mean based on empirical testing, or does this mean that designing something to ACI 318 would be considered performance base since it is not prescriptive?
