Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has attracted wide interests in civil engineering but it has large deadweight, which limits its application in lightweight structures and rehabilitation. Compromising the merits of UHPC and lightweight concrete, ultra-high-performance lightweight concrete (UHPLC) is a potential solution to solve the drawback of high self-weight. Based on particle densely packing theory, this study proposed a UHPLC manufacturing approach using shale ceramic sand and air-entraining agent (AEA). An experimental study was conducted to systematically examine the effects of the types and contents of AEA on various performances of UHPLC, including its workability, mechanical properties, durability and microstructure. The results show the following: (1) The addition of AEA resulted in the decrease of UHPLC in elastic modulus, compressive strength and flexural strength but bring UHPLC higher specific strength; (2) A void system that is featured with homogeneous distribution of pores and an appropriate size and could be formed by adding a suitable amount of AEA; (3) The optimum proportion of AEA in UHPLC was 0.01% in consideration of its influence on UHPLC from the perspectives of microstructure, durability and mechanical properties.
