A composite structural component includes an elongate member made of a polymer matrix composite material. The elongate member generally extending along an axis of the composite structural component from an end portion thereof. The component also includes an end fitting forming a mechanical joint with the end portion. The elongate member includes a first member extending from the end portion along the axis of the composite structural component and a second member extending from the end portion along the axis of the composite structural component. The end fitting is constrained in the end portion by the first and second members such that the first member is preloaded with a compressive stress in the axial direction and the second member is preloaded with a tensile stress in the axial direction.
