Foundation is the most important element in a bridge construction. Foundations interact directly with the soil to support any load and the bridge itself. Therefore, bridge foundation design must have the strength, stability, and optimum criteria. Specifically, design of bridge abutment foundations must consider lateral loads produced by tall road embankments next to the abutment. One of the engineering solutions available is arranging geotextiles in the idea of creating an MSE Wall to reduce the excessive lateral load. This final assignment will describe the design of MSE Wall on bridge abutment foundations, and the design of the pile foundations of Cimanuk Bridge, Cikampek-Palimanan Highway. The design of MSE Wall is calculated by using PLAXIS 2D 8.5 software to produce optimum geotextile configuration as the output, and the reduction of lateral loads on the abutment wall. The design of abutment and pier fouindations is calculated manually as well as using A-PILE and GROUP 8.0. The settlement analysis is calculated manually as well as using PLAXIS 3D foundation software with the magnitude of the settlement as the output. In general, the ultimate goal of this final assignment is safe, strong, stable and optimum design of the pier and abutment foundation. The design of MSE Wall using PLAXIS shows that the addition of geotextiles are capable of reducing a significant amount of lateral force on the abutments. Bridge foundation safety factors are 3 for service loads and 2 for earthquake loads. The output from GROUP 8.0 shows that the pile foundations fulfill those criteria, whether by bearing capacity or pile cracking capacity
