    Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly is disclosed including an inner shroud having a surface adjacent to a hot gas path, an outer shroud, and a biasing apparatus. The biasing apparatus is arranged and disposed to bias the inner shroud in a direction away from the hot gas path, loading the inner shroud to the outer shroud. In another embodiment, the biasing apparatus is a springless biasing apparatus including at least one bellows, at least one thrust piston, or a combination of at least one bellows and at least one thrust piston. A method for loading the turbine shroud assembly is disclosed including biasing the inner shroud having a surface adjacent to a hot gas path in a direction away from the hot gas path toward the outer shroud, wherein biasing the inner shroud includes a biasing force exerted by the biasing apparatus.
