I am using a welded structure as shown in the attached pic. The upper horizontal beam is an I beam, the triangle is made of square tubing welded to the I beam. The lower horizontal beam is an I beam. The hoist on the upper beam connects to a crane. A 2500 lb force act on the lower I beam at the center. (the weight to be lifted.) How would the forces be transferred at various joints? I wish to select an I beam and I wish to know the exact force acting on it. Should I design the I beam for 2500 lb force or would it be lesser because of the distribution of the forces? Thanks.!

..."The hoist on the upper beam connects to a crane."... you need to enlist the services of a PE. The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.
