Searching individual constructions and syntactic relationships
I am looking to determine the participial clause syntactic force in John. I have searched the following
participle clause NEAR Gospel of John
participial clause syntactic force NEAR Gospel of John.
Any advice?

Sorry but I don't understand the question. You need to find all participial clauses in John and associate an appropriate syntactic force to each of them. From the Word by Word section documentation:
[quote]• Syntactic Force — certain New Testament versions may display another category just after the morph characteristics. The portion to the right of the pipe character ("|") describes the grammatical/syntactic role the word plays in the verse (for example, "vocative" or "double accusative") according to the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament. Click the syntactic force category to open the associated glossary, or hover over it to view the definition in a popup.

I am trying to find out the syntactical force of the clauses in John 1:1-18. Does that make sense?

Not really - at least as far as I understand it. As MJ's quote above states, syntactical force is associated with a word not a clause.

I have to do a study on the word Logos in John and particularly John 1:1-18. I have to do a study on the syntax and morphology of this word. Then I have to do a individual construction relationship between this word and God in Greek. How would I do this?

I have to assume that
is a deliverable that you have been taught in one of your classes. I can find nothing in linguistics, semantics, or syntax that might correspond so I can't help you at all.Christian Alexander said:individual construction relationship

Try using the Exegetical Guide on that passage and see what the Word-by-Word section says about each occurrence of the word you are focusing on

Easier to just look at it. Below, left is Syntactic Greek NT, center associated annotations (written out), and right, Cascadia. I positioned at John 1:1; logos.

A Book search idea is bible:Jn1.1-18 in Type:Grammar that has results in 83 books in my Logos library, including:

6. Application of Colwell’s Construction to John 1:1
John 1:1 states: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. In the last part of the verse, the clause καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος (John 1:1c), θεός is the PN. It is anarthrous and comes before the verb. Therefore, it fits Colwell’s construction, though it might not fit the rule (for the rule states that definiteness is determined or indicated by the context, not by the grammar). Whether it is indefinite, qualitative, or definite is the issue at hand.
Daniel B. Wallace, Greek Grammar beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1996), 266.
Wallace discusses indefinite, qualitative, & definite. FYI: a first year Greek textbook Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar, 4th ed. Chapter 6 refers to pages 266-269 in Wallace (about John 1:1c).
Another search idea is milestone:bible:jn1.1-18 in technical commentaries about John => https://www.bestcommentaries.com/john/
