PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle body side structure which effectively inhibits the deformation of a vehicle frame upon front collision. SOLUTION: A highly strong load transmitting member 48 is mounted on the front end side of a door inner panel 28 of a front side door 18, where one end 48A of the load transmitting member 48 is fixed to the door inner panel 28, and the other end 48B is extended toward a front pillar 12. When the front pillar 12 is shifted rotatably toward a vehicle room by a load F applied to the front pillar 12 by an apron upper member 38 upon front collision, a rear end flange 12B is locked on the other end 48B of the load transmitting member 48 to inhibit the rotary shift. A moment M1 for curving the front side door 18, therefore, gets smaller, which in turn increases an axial force N to allow the load F to move to the rear. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
