The invention discloses a frozen soil-structure direct shear apparatus and a use method thereof. The frozen soil-structure direct shear apparatus comprises a horizontal thruster, a stepping motor, a displacement sensor, a vertical pressure dowel bar, a horizontal ball guide rail, an upper shearing box, a thermocouple, a lower shearing box, a semiconductor refrigeration block, a load sensor, a horizontal end fixing device, a cooling liquid delivery pipe, a low temperature thermostatic bath, a strain rate controller, counterbalance weights, a lever end fixing device, a horizontal bearing platform, a lever and weights. The frozen soil-structure direct shear apparatus has the advantage of being suitable for the research on the mechanical characteristics of the contact surface of different materials at a low temperature. The apparatus can provide different normal stress and temperatures for the contact surface of the materials according to test requirements; and when the freeze condition of the contact surface of the different materials meets the corresponding requirements, a shear force is applied on the contact surface at a selected shear rate until the contact surface of the sample is subjected to damage, and the relation curve of the shear stress of the frozen soil-structure contact surface and the shear displacement is determined.
