 Transversely isotropic rock, TIR, is characterized by its bedding plane structure, which can significantly affect its mechanical properties and failure characteristics. Research has been conducted to measure the p-wave velocity characteristics, uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial compressive strength, and tensile strength of TIR. Additionally, research has been done to investigate the rock burst test results of TIR under various conditions. Future studies should focus on measuring the Brazilian tensile strength of TIR, establishing strength criteria for TIR, revealing the influence mechanism of mineral particles between the bedding planes on rock failure from the microscopic point of view, investigating the mechanical properties of TIR in complex environments, experimentally investigating the rock burst of TIR under the stress path of the three-dimensional high-stress plus internal unloading plus dynamic disturbance, and studying the influence of the bedding angle, thickness, and number on the rock burst pronus of TIR.
