This study aimed at examining the impact of concrete curing methods in hot-weather regions on the properties of high-strength green concrete (HSC), which is made from a local industrial waste by-product from the manufacture of light volcanic aggregates called volcanic pumice dust (VPD). The HSC properties are significantly affected by the curing methods, the ambient weather, and the alternative materials to cement. This study aimed to apply three curing methods in a hot-weather region, including the following: (1) the specimens were immersed in a water tank in laboratory conditions, (2) the specimens were cured by covering them with a wet burlap outdoors and spraying the burlap with water twice a day, and (3) the specimens were cured by spraying with water outdoor. Three VPD replacement rates are applied, namely 10%, 20%, and 30% cement mass replacements. In this study, slump tests were conducted and the water absorption, sorptivity, and compressive, indirect tensile, and flexural strengths were investigated to determine the HSC properties. The microstructure of the cement paste was evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The addition of VPD contributed to reducing the negative impact of hot weather on concrete and improving construction applications. All tests were conducted on hardened concrete at 7, 28, 90, and 180 curing ages. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the immersion curing methods using 10% of VPD surpassed 60 MPa at the 28-day curing age. The residual compressive strength was in the range of 85.6-98.2% when CC and SC were applied compared to IC for all replacement rates at a test age of 180 days. The HSC containing 30% of VPD showed low water sorptivity and water absorption in all curing methods.
