Abstract
To provide a vehicle-body side part structure that can achieve both weight reduction and collision performance. A side sillis constituted of an outer panel, an inner panellocated on the inside of the outer panelin the vehicle width direction, and a backup panellocated on the inside of the inner panelin the vehicle width direction. A backup panel central bulging portionbulging inward in the vehicle width direction is formed in a central portion in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the backup panel, an outer panel bead central portionrecessed inward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the outer panel, and an inner panel bead central portionrecessed outward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the inner panelto increase the rigidity in the vehicle width direction. An inner panel bead end portionrecessed outward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the inner panel, and a backup panel bead end portionprotruding inward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the backup panelto increase the rigidity in the vehicle longitudinal direction.
