I would like to build a wall and I understand that just fine however the floor is cement so I obviousy can't just throw some nailes into it. Any tips would be appreciated it will be in my basement
all you need is to go to Lowe's or a 84 lumber and get concrete screws Simpson Strong Tie screws for concrete they come with a bit to predrill the holes these are better then using concrete nails cuz they cant grab the floor good enough
Concrete nails or cut nails will work fine. In new construction framing this is done daily. They are hard to drive in so I recommend a bead of liquid nails under the bottom plate to insure the wall stays put. This is the least expensive and easiest way.
First, make sure to use PT lumber for the sole plate (bottom of the frame) or even some of the new metal framing materials, since they're less apt to rot, but MUCH harder to work with). You'll need to drill holes in the cement with masonry bits and use bolts to hold the frame in place. You should also use lath (small strips of wood) against the cement WALLS, to protect the wood from moisture. Make sure to use stainless steel bolts, so they won't rust. Measure the wall, Construct the frame, then test to see if it fits (check for plumb and level), then screw it together and fasten to the wall lath and cement floor. Fill the spaces betw. the studs w/insulation (foam is best for basements) and put drywall over it. IF the wall is free-standing (that is, not against an outside wall), there's no need for insulation, unless you want it for soundproofing.
Actually, you could just use cement nails, but a better choice is to drill holes where you are going to fasten the wall to the floor. In these holes you hammer a sleeve. When you drive a screw into this spacer, it holds it in place. Any Home Depot type company will have these drills and cement screw/sleeve. I have had permanent walls done up on cement in this way.
You need to go beneath the existing slab and thicken the footing and set up the curb wall for anchor bolts , Water is not on the flow list for footings , If its the outside then you need to water proof the new wall.
