In order to survey the extensional forces dominated in central Alborz since Late Triassic (Norian) to Middle Jurassic (Early-Bajocian), synsedimentary normal and strike-slip fault systems in Balladeh valley which contains significant distribution of Shemshak Group have been studied. Analysis of σ₃ orientation for 404 fault planes in 35 normal fault systems, show two major extension directions at NNE (020°) and NE (070°) trends during sedimentation of Shemshak Group. Also, the presence of a minor extension direction trending WNW (300°) which is coincident with extension direction of synsedimentary strike-slip fault systems implies the existence of transtentional basins in the Shemshak basin at that time. The southward movement of southern edge of Eurasia (from latitude of 30° to 15°) and its clockwise rotation for some 40°-50° during Triassic-Jurassic periods led to domination of N-S extension in early times of Shemshak Group sedimentation, and as soon as the Eurasian plate rotated, the extension direction was changed into a NE-SW trend. These separated records of paleostress axis trends are also due to the high sedimentation rates and subsidence in Norian-Rhaetian and Toarcian-Aalenian during Shemshak Group sedimentation. The minor extension trending WNW-ESE (278°-307°) is due to σ₂/σ₃ permutation between N-S σ₃ direction of stress tensor and its σ₂ axis. Low values of Φ (less than 0.4) generally correspond to situation characterized by σ₂/σ₃ permutation; therefor it causes multidirectional extension in extensional stress regimes. About 80 percent of sites which show WNW-ESE paleostress extension trend have low Φ values. This issue explains σ₂/σ₃ permutation of N-S major extension trend. The areas of mentioned stations and also those ones with strike-slip fault systems σ₃ directions of which are directed WNW-ESE had high basin crustal anisotropy.
