Drift limit for RC flat slab building according to indian code is 0.1% (0.001).

While that according to ACI318 is

0.5% (0.005). But, it should be noted that according to ASCE drift is inelastic drift, which is R/I times elastic drift.
So, permissible drift according to ACI is more, as inelastic drift is also more. Plz not R as per ASCE is appx. 2R
as per indian code.

Drift according to indian code is elastic drift and inelastic drift will be 2R/I. We are comparing elastic drift with
permissible limit. So permissible drift is less. There is no additional FOS as per indian code. Actually, permissible
drift is double that of ASCE, as inelastic drift as per indian code is 2R/I times and not R/I times elastic drift.

Also, as per ACI352.1R, Drift limit for RC slab-column connection is 0.5% and that for PT slab-column connection
is 1.5% for gravity shear ratio (Vug/Fi*Vc) between 0.6 to 1, and higher drift is permitted (some equations given) if
gravity shear ratio (Vug/Fi*Vc) is less than 0.6. Even if drift is more than drift limit (drift capacity of slab-column
connection), punching shear reinforcement can be provided to prevent drift induced punching.

Indian code only require to modify the structural system to control the drift. While according to ACI, we can
increase
