Abstract: A foundation for wind turbine tower and a pre-assembly method for the tower, in which the tower comprises sections divided into shell segments, and where the foundation comprises a pile cap with an upper base, a lower base and a slanted surface, with the upper base having a smaller area than the lower base. The foundation comprises a set of support elements that extend above the slanted surface of the pile cap arranged so that free upper surfaces of these support elements provide a support surface for the shell segments for the pre-assembly of a section, and a set of slender connection elements that are connected to the pile cap and whose open end is configured connect to the shell segments of a section.
