Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Poor management of scrap tires in Malaysia have caused the accumulation of non-biodegradable materials in landfills and dumping sites, which contributes to the health issues. This research intends to exploit the scrap tires to produce rubbercrete brick. Utilizing recycled materials in construction industry helps to reduce the environmental impacts. However, inclusion of crumb rubber in Portland cement product lead to reduction in the strength due to the hydrophobic nature of the crumb rubber which repels water and entrap air on its surface. Therefore, in this research, nano silica has been introduced to the rubbercrete to modify its microstructure by densifying the interfacial transition zone and refining the pore system which consequently enhances the compressive strength. In this research, nano silica modified rubbercrete solid brick has been developed with a compressive strength of 15 MPa. The newly developed nano silica modified rubbercrete solid brick can be used for non-load-bearing construction application.
