ABSTRACT:
A composite structural member having an improved joint for securing loads thereto is formed from a body of composite sheet material. A loading member having an outer periphery and being configured to secure loads thereto is provided with an undercut portion or recess located along the outer periphery. The composite sheet material overlays the loading member about the outer periphery and has a lip formed from the sheet material which projects into and engages the undercut portion of the outer periphery. A retaining tension band is wrapped around the outer periphery of the loading member and the lip and maintains the lip in engagement with the undercut portion of the loading member so that the loading member is securely held in place relative to the sheet material when loads are applied to the loading member.
