Abstract
A structure for a side portion of a vehicle, the structure having a bulkhead provided within a closed cross-section of a center pillar. The bulkhead is disposed so as to be superposed on the lapping section of a lower door beam in the width direction of the vehicle and has a movement restriction section capable of supporting the lapping section. When the lower door beam is moved by a load inputted in the lower door beam from a side of the vehicle, the movement restriction section supports the lapping section of the lower door beam to restrict the movement of the lapping section in the vertical direction.
