The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a direct shear test structural plane model. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) the selection and the processing of a virgin rock structural plane: selecting a virgin rock structural plane to be used as a sample, and leveling an original structural plane of the rock mass; then coating a mould release agent at a selected position determined according to the specific size of a structural plane model, and spreading an isolating membrane; (2) putting a lower mould on the selected position of the original structural plane, and pouring a uniformly stirred mixed material into the lower mould; after carrying out water retention maintenance on the sample, turning over a lower disk structural plane sample together with the lower mould, and removing the used isolating membrane on the lower disk structural plane; (3) coating the mould release agent on the prepared lower disk structural plane, and spreading the isolating membrane; centering and putting an upper mould on a lower mould, and then pouring a uniformly stirred mixed material of weighed raw materials into the upper mould again; and (4) demoulding. The method has specific principle, strong maneuverability, low cost and good use effect.
