i recently had to build a small stub wall about 3' high on a concrete
floor with heat tubes. i used PL premium polyurethane glue (comes in
caulk gun tubes) on the sole plate the end of the studs where they join
the top and bottom plate, and glued it to the wall it was butting into
(in addition to nails of course). worked like a charm--i think it is
quite a bit stiffer than if i had used concrete anchors and nails
alone.
