Rocking　philosophy　has　advantages　to　maintain　a　preferable　post-earthquake　serviceability　as　an　alternative　of　seismic　resistant　systems.　This　article　presents　an　experimental　study　on　the　seismic　behavior　of　a　rocking　bridge　with　freestanding　columns　capped　with　a　freely　supported　deck.　A　1/10　scaled,　single-span　double-column　freestanding　bridge　was　constructed　and　tested　on　a　shaking　table.　The　experimental　results　showed　that　the　bridge　model　could　undergo　large　rocking　with　enough　stability　under　earthquakes　and　presented　excellent　post-earthquake　resilience　after　earthquakes　with　limited　damage　and　negligible　residual　displacement.　The　rocking　bridge　model　also　exhibited　expected　isolation　efficiency,　which　increases　as　the　level　of　excitations　becomes　more　severe.　In　addition,　an　analytical　model　based　on　multi-block　rocking　mechanisms　was　used　to　calculate　the　displacement　response.　Compared　with　the　experimental　results,　this　analytical　model　well　predicts　the　peak　displacement　of　the　rocking　bridge　model.
