Which code explains the limit for minimum FOS for overturning and sliding of reinforced concrete wall (and under which clause)

So for sliding it is the DL of wall, structure above, soil above X friction coef. >= 1.5x lateral force (area of the triangle of equivalent fluid pressure).
For OT
Moment at the toe from all the DL (wall, structure, soil above heel and toe) >= 1.5x lateral force x 1/3 H
When you are designing the reinforcement, then you need 1.6 H (or 1.7 if you are using appendix c).
Dont take anything I said for granted though because I am only an EIT

"Moment at the toe from all the DL (wall, structure, soil above heel and toe) >= 1.5x lateral force x 1/3 H"
The 1/3H is applicable for soil forces, but not for surcharge where the point of application is at H/2.
