wood rots when in contact with earth. dry rot will happen when in contact with concrete. so the way to prevent rot is to use a concrete pier until floor is above the earth, and then use a resilient sill plate such as preservative treated lumber for pieces in contact with concrete. alternative is to use a raised post base bracket such as made by Simpson.
