Fixing wooden slats to concrete base for outdoor seating

Hi, I have a concrete box base and I am intending to slat over the top to create a seating area, the finished effect much like this: http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/public-bench-contemporary-concrete-wood-52728-6924387.jpg Obviously the slats do not attach direct to the concrete - instead the slats will sit on metal straps and the straps attached to the base. Where would I go about getting such straps? Perhaps they have a name which would help me search on google? Or would I have to get them custom made for my application? If so, where would I go for this? Finally I assume you use countersunk screws to attach the strap to the slats from underneath, but how do the straps attach to the concrete? Thanks Chris
