Preparing concrete with unpurified sea sand and seawater is of great significance for the construction in coastal areas short of river sand and pure water. However, unpurified sea sand and seawater contain a lot of chloride ions which may cause steel corrosion problems. In this paper, unpurified sea sand and seawater are used to prepare ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), and the potential differences between the steel bars with protective layer thickness of 5mm and 15mm and the Cu/CuSO 4  reference electrode under two types of dry-wet cycle and the chloride ion concentrations at different depths from UHPC specimen surface after 40 dry-wet cycles are tested, the UHPC specimens are broken to observe corrosion of embedded steel bars. The results show that UHPC prepared with unpurified sea sand and seawater has good ability to protect embedded steel reinforcement against corrosion under dry-wet cycle conditions in lab.
