What is Illite and Montmorillonite Clay Overview about?

This document describes two types of clay: illite and montmorillonite. Illite is a non-expansive clay mainly composed of silicate and aluminum. It forms as a result of the alteration of other minerals such as muscovite. Montmorillonite is an expansive clay composed of magnesium, aluminum, and silicate. It is characterized by absorbing water and expanding, which requires caution in its use for foundation.
