Abstract
A lower vehicle-body structure of a vehicle comprises an outer-side reinforcing member and an inner-side reinforcing member inside a side sill. In the side sill, upper-and-lower ridgelines extending in a longitudinal direction are formed between an outer vertical-wall portion and an outer top-plate portion and between the outer vertical-wall portion and an outer bottom-plate portion. The inner-side reinforcing member comprises an engaged portion fixed to the inner vertical-wall portion and configured to engage with the outer-side reinforcing member in a vehicle side collision. The outer-side reinforcing member comprises an engaging portion configured to engage with the engaged portion and at least one of an upper brace portion interconnecting the outer vertical-wall portion and the outer top-plate portion, straddling the upper ridgeline, and a lower brace portion interconnecting the outer vertical-wall portion and the outer bottom-plate portion, straddling the lower ridgeline.
