In this study, we present a method that employed ultrasound to impose vibration on the surfaces of cementitious materials at the early stage of hydration to form a hardening layer and improve the surface hardness. The formation mechanism of the ultrasonic hardening layer (UHL) was analyzed, and the density and surface hardness of the UHL were measured. An experimental study was carried out to determine the effect of the UHL on improving the wind-blown sand erosion resistance of cementitious materials. Experimental data show that the UHL has a density 3.3% greater and a hardness 136% greater than that of the contrast samples after 28-days of curing. Wind-blown sand erosion tests data show that to the specimens with 28-days curing age, the UHL can improve the erosion resistance for 12.8-24.1% versus that of the contrast in a 30-min erosion procedure.
