On sait que l'étude des séismes et de leurs conséquences a permis de cerner les limites de l. a. development parasismique : s'ils démontrent la qualité des constructions - dont les fondations - les séismes mettent aussi en évidence la qualité des sols. Or, cette dernière décroît à mesure que, là où l'on veut bâtir, les "bons" sols sont déjà occupés. Il reste donc à les améliorer.
