It is called "Foam-crete" or "light weight concrete" either the aggregates used are light weight in themselves or additives are present, that form air spaces (bubbles) with-in the concrete itself, thus reducing the concretes mass. It must be understood that the integrity or strength of the concrete is lost or at least greatly degraded. The product is often used to in-bed the tubes used in "Radiant Heat" as placed over a wooden sub-floor.
