There are more and more accidents of transmission tower collapse caused by the defects of foundation. The safety of the foundation of transmission tower has gradually attracted the attention of relevant departments. However, for the existing concrete foundations of transmission towers, the conventional detection methods will not only cause structural secondary damage, but also have extremely low efficiency, which is not conducive to actual large-scale detection. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a non-destructive testing technology for the foundation of transmission tower based on Rayleigh wave method. The non-destructive testing theory for the foundation of transmission tower based on Rayleigh wave method was firstly introduced. And then the non-destructive testing procedure of the foundation size of transmission tower based on Rayleigh wave method was described in details. The proposed non-destructive testing technology for the foundation of transmission tower based on Rayleigh wave method was verified through an actual foundation model of transmission tower. The experimental results prove that the proposed method in this paper is feasible.
