Masonry nails that depend on a powdered charge for their penetrating force should be available at home centers or lumberyards. As a last resort, Google powder actuated nails. An alternative is to use Tapcons, threaded concrete screws which require the use of a predrilled hole for ease of entry. They work very well.

The metal object is then attached to the concrete with special screws or nails that are inserted into holes that are drilled with a hammer drill and masonry bits. Once the metal mount is attached to the concrete, insert and level the beam and on each side of the "cup" there are spaces for nails or screws to attach the beam to the concrete.
