wha?... solid 3/4" T&G hardwood is not recommended to be glued down to concrete, and certainly not with masonry nails by any certifying association.  engineered hardwood (3/8"-5/8")at  or above grade, maybe, with proper prep. check any of the hardwood flooring certification associations such as nofma.com.
