(OP)
Pardon my ignorance, how do steel beams support cranes typically? any advice is welcome. thanks in advance

RE: crane loaded steel structures

There are a variety of resources for the design of crane runway structures. Likely the most widely known by now is AISC's Design Guide

http://www.aisc.org/store/p-1548-design-guide-7-industrial-buildings-roofs-to-anchor-rods.aspx

There are many other resources that a web browser search soon reveals.

Loads are just supported like at any other structures subject to dynamic loads; if only simpler in that being  a quite common structural type the checks have been somewhat reduced to some specific formulations. So impact factors appear as substitute of dynamical studies.

Also, fatigue (and stress concentration etc) becomes paramount giving the cyclical solicitations. So some kind of structural types (simply supported beams) use to be preferred to others to help to reduce the effort in designing the structures and get simpler and of easier maintenance structures.

RE: crane loaded steel structures

If you are looking for crawler cranes supported by steel structures during construction, take a look at "Cranes and Derricks" by Shapiro
