Description

This study, based on microtectonic analysis using Echecopars automatic method combined with field work in the Dajy sector, highlighted that the direction of minimum stress 3 is not homogeneous in this study area. It was thus highlighted :

1. An extensive tensors linked to a direction of 3 of approximately N90 ;

2. An extensive tensors linked to a subhorizontal 3 direction N120 E to N160 E,

3. An extensive tensors with Ϭ3 directions parallel or subparallel to the N70 E faults. This category of tensors appears to be associated with strike slip fault (Fig. 6).

4. And an average N156 extension for the Jurassic series.
