A composite fastener and method for fastening structural members are provided. The fastener is formed at least partially of a composite material. For example, at least one component of the fastener can be formed of a composite material and the remaining components of the fastener can be formed of a metallic material. The fasteners can be compatible with the materials of the structural members to be fastened or joined, such as where all or at least one of the structural members are formed of a composite material. In some cases, the fastener can be installed blindly from one side of the structural members with no or limited access to the opposite side.
