Abstract
A vehicle-seat-supporting structure includes a floor panel, a side sill, front and rear floor cross members, and seat brackets. The side sill is disposed on an outer side of a vehicle body in a vehicle widthwise direction. The floor cross members are joined to the floor panel, extend in the vehicle widthwise direction, and each have one end facing the side sill with a gap in between. The seat brackets are joined to the respective one ends of the floor cross members and to the side sill. The seat brackets each include a supporting member joined to the floor cross member and supporting a seat, and a collapsible member interposed between and is joined to the side sill and the supporting member. The collapsible member includes a collapsing region that collapses inward in the vehicle widthwise direction when receiving an impact load from the side sill.
