What amount of differential settlement do you find to be the tolerable limit for typical tilt up concrete construction? What would you have typicaly for footing loads?

i usually see the 1/2 to 3/4 inch tolerable differential number thrown out by structural engineers on jobs i've worked on.

4-5 klf for say a warehouse. maybe higher for other applications.
 
What would you use for isolated interior columns, load and settlement?
