The stability assessment of strip mine slopes is a fundamental means to prevent slope accidents. To investigate the influence of step topographies on the exploration using the high-density resistivity method on strip mine steps, this study conducted flume experiments for simulation using similar materials to explore the current field distribution in the profile to be surveyed. The experimental results show that: (1) The shallow positions near the upper and lower slope lines and the breadth line of the cleaning berm exhibited high current densities and even current distributions; (2) The middle positions manifested sharply changed current densities, with their contours akin to the step topography; (3) The deep positions displayed low current densities and tardy current changes; (4) A significant current gathering effect was observed near the slope bottom line on the profile; (5) Compared to flat topographies, step topographies exhibited high current densities and uneven current distributions. This suggests that in the exploration using the high-density resistivity method, step topographies in strip mines can cause abnormal inversion results for the middle positions and positions near the slope bottom line.
