(OP)
Can anybody tell the reference for factor of safety for sliding and overturning as per American codes

RE: factor of safety for sliding and overturning

Perhaps not as bulletproof a reference as you hoped for, but the most recent ASCE 7 / IBC load combinations that use 0.6 as the load factor for restoring loads have been explained as a way to codify the traditional 1.5 F.S.

(Plus a 10% allowance for load variability)
