    This document describes the foundation concept and design considerations for a novel rocking bridge. The foundation consists of pile caps supported on elastomeric pads and piles embedded in multiple soil layers over bedrock. Key design checks include ensuring the bridge's overturning moment is less than its resisting moment to prevent overturning and that its uplift moment exceeds the resisting moment to allow for rocking motion.
