ABSTRACT:
A structure is provided between a first columnar structural member and at least a second structural member in which the stress concentration at the fixed end portion of the reinforcing member with the first columnar structural member and the second structural member(s) is greatly relaxed. Also, in the case where the reinforcing member is welded, the residual welding stress is relaxed, with the result that the proof stress and the fatigue performance are remarkably improved over the prior art. In the joining structure with the first columnar structural member and the second structural member(s), the first columnar structural member and the second structural member(s) joined to each other have welded thereto at least a tabular reinforcing member to reinforce the joining of the structural members. The reinforcing member has a U- or V-shaped bent portion along the surface of the structural members and also an opening.
