Abstract

In a vehicle body structure, an accommodation concavity is provided in a floor panel. A pair of side members each having a nearly vertical first side surface portion extend bilaterally of the accommodation concavity. The floor panel is composed of a first floor panel having a first bottom surface portion serving as the bottom surface of the accommodation concavity, and second side surface portions erected in a nearly vertical direction from the first bottom surface portion and placed adjacent to the first side surface portions; and second floor panels each having a second bottom surface portion placed above the side member, and a third side surface portion erected in a nearly vertical direction from the second bottom surface portion and placed adjacent to and outwardly of the first side surface portion in a vehicle width direction. The side member, the first floor panel and the second floor panel are joined together at the first side surface portion, the second side surface portion, and the third side surface portion. Since the width of the junction between the floor panel and the side member is decreased, the width of the accommodation concavity can be increased.
