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.

1. A turbine shroud assembly, comprising: an inner shroud having a surface adjacent to a hot gas path; an outer shroud; and a biasing apparatus, wherein the biasing apparatus is disposed entirely within the outer shroud, is arranged and disposed to bias the inner shroud in a direction away from the hot gas path, loading the inner shroud against and in direct contact with the outer shroud at least at a trailing edge and a leading edge of the outer shroud. 2. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 1, wherein the biasing apparatus is a springless biasing apparatus. 3. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 1, wherein the biasing apparatus is driven by a pressurized fluid. 4. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 1, wherein the biasing apparatus includes at least one bellows. 5. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 4, wherein the at least one bellows includes a first end attached to the outer shroud, and a second end configured to expand away from the hot gas path in response to an increased internal pressure within the at least one bellows, the second end connecting to the inner shroud and configured to exert a biasing force on the inner shroud. 6. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 5, wherein the second end of the at least one bellows is connected to the inner shroud by an attachment selected from the group consisting of a pin, a hook, a dovetail, a t-slot, and combinations thereof. 7. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 4, wherein the at least one bellows hermetically caps a pressurized fluidic supply line. 8. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 1, wherein the biasing apparatus includes at least one thrust piston connected to the inner shroud and configured to exert a biasing force on the inner shroud, the at least one thrust piston includes, disposed entirely within the outer shroud, at least one piston head, at least one piston seal, and a stanchion, and the at least one piston head is disposed radially outward of the stanchion from the hot gas path. 9. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 8, wherein the thrust piston is connected to the inner shroud by an attachment selected from the group consisting of a pin, a hook, a dovetail, a t-slot, and combinations thereof. 10. A turbine shroud assembly, comprising: an inner shroud having a surface adjacent to a hot gas path; an outer shroud; and 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, wherein the springless biasing apparatus is disposed entirely within the outer shroud, and is arranged and disposed to bias the inner shroud in a direction away from the hot gas path, loading the inner shroud against and in direct contact with the outer shroud. 11. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 10, wherein the springless biasing apparatus is driven by a pressurized fluid. 12. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 10, wherein the springless biasing apparatus at least comprises the at least one bellows, and the at least one bellows includes a first end attached to the outer shroud, and a second end configured to expand away from the hot gas path in response to an increased internal pressure within the at least one bellows, the second end connecting to the inner shroud and configured to exert a biasing force on the inner shroud. 13. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 12, wherein the at least one bellows hermetically caps a pressurized fluidic supply line. 14. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 12, wherein the at least one bellows is connected to the inner shroud by an attachment selected from the group consisting of a pin, a hook, a dovetail, a t-slot, and combinations thereof. 15. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 10, wherein the springless biasing apparatus at least comprises the at least one thrust piston, the at least one thrust piston includes, disposed entirely within the outer shroud, at least one piston head, at least one piston seal, and a stanchion, the at least one piston head is disposed radially outward of the stanchion from the hot gas path, and the thrust piston is connected to the inner shroud and configured to exert a biasing force on the inner shroud. 16. The turbine shroud assembly of claim 15, wherein the thrust piston is connected to the inner shroud by an attachment selected from the group consisting of a pin, a hook, a dovetail, a t-slot, and combinations thereof. 17. A method for loading a turbine shroud assembly, comprising biasing an inner shroud having a surface adjacent to a hot gas path in a direction away from the hot gas path toward an outer shroud and loading the inner shroud against and in direct contact with the outer shroud at least at a trailing edge and a leading edge of the outer shroud, wherein biasing the inner shroud includes a biasing force exerted by a biasing apparatus disposed entirely within the outer shroud. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the biasing apparatus is a springless biasing apparatus. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the biasing apparatus is driven by a pressurized fluid. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the biasing apparatus includes at least one bellows, at least one thrust piston, or a combination of at least one bellows and at least one thrust piston.
