STRUCTURE FOR SIDE PORTION OF VEHICLE BODY

摘要

A structure for a side portion of a vehicle body can reliably disperse a collision load applied from the side of the vehicle. A bulkhead (5) placed in a rocker member (3) has a bulkhead outer member (5A) joined to a rocker outer member (3A) and also has a bulkhead inner member (5B) joined to a rocker inner member (3B). Near sections (7) capable of engaging with each other are arranged on facing walls (6A, 6B) of the bulkhead outer member (5A) and the bulkhead inner member (5B). The structure allows a collision load in a side collision to be reliably transmitted from the rocker outer member (3A) to the rocker inner member (3B) via the near sections (7) formed on the facing walls (6A, 6B), and as a result, the collision load from the side of the vehicle is reliably dispersed.
