I'm assuming that the force you are referring to is imparted by the torqueing of the bolt. If a wrench is used and you are torqueing to 80 ftlb, then the force in pounds is simply 80 divided by the distance from the center of the bolt to the application of force to the wrench by your hand measured in feet. Two things to consider: 1. The direction your hand is moving is the direction that the load is applied to the tube. 2. Torque causes deflection too - you must consider the deflection caused by the torque in addition to the deflection caused by the application of that torque.
