The invention discloses a temperature-suction-stress 
coupling multifunctional direct-shearing and single-shearing testing 
system and an operation method thereof. The temperature-suction-stress 
coupling multifunctional direct-shearing and single-shearing testing 
system comprises five parts including a control cabinet (1), a direct-shearing and single-shearing instrument (2), a diffused 
air bubble washing device (3), a 
temperature control device (4) and a computer (5), wherein the five parts are connected through a communication protocol; a testing process and 
data acquisition are controlled by utilizing the computer (5); 
manual testing control can also be carried out on the direct-shearing and single-shearing instrument (2), the diffused 
air bubble washing device (3) and the 
temperature control device (4) by adopting the control cabinet (1). The temperature-suction-stress 
coupling multifunctional direct-shearing and single-shearing testing 
system is applicable to soil body shearing strength tests and research under a temperature-suction-stress 
coupling effect; conventional consolidation, direct shearing and single shearing tests on a soil body can be effectively carried out, and consolidation, direct shearing and single shearing tests under a multi-field 
coupling effect of temperature, suction, stress and shearing 
waves can be realized; soil body shearing strength, a consolidation and 
sedimentation property and a soil-water characteristic curve under different environment conditions can be researched.
